macos - Mac OS X Yosemite - How to Disable Automatic Logout when idle?


It appears that since I upgraded to OS X Yosemite, and fiddled with some of the energy saver and screen saver settings, that my user is logged out due to inactivity.


Where is the setting where I can turn this off and not allow my user to be automatically logged off when inactive?



Answer



The option is found in the System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General > Advanced dialog.


The first option is a check box with text Log out after [NN - spin button] minutes of inactivity


The spin button enables one to set the number of minutes of inactivity.


Kudos to the user Alistair McMillan who posted the answer over in the AskDifferent stack exchange.
