How it works

From setup to unlock, with nothing left unclear.

Six setup steps, then an unlock that tells you exactly what has been validated and what remains to be proven.

Setting up

Order matters: the password and recovery come before hardening.

Install the Windows application and set your password — it is the mandatory fallback method.
Choose the protection mode on Home: Standard, Hidden background, or Discreet.
Set automatic protection and, if you want, a shortcut to protect the screen instantly.
Add your other methods: security key, trusted device, recovery media.
Create recovery media and store it somewhere other than inside the computer.
Finally choose the protection level from registered families; their presence will be evaluated at unlock.

The inactivity delay elapses, or you trigger protection yourself.
The screen enters the chosen mode and the application intercepts keyboard and mouse.
State stays visible from a paired device authorized to view status.
The activity log stays local. Companion features and update checks use their network connections.

The unlock screen announces the required level, counts the methods already validated, and offers only what is genuinely available.

Recovery media and the password remain recovery paths prepared in advance.

A QR code opens the Web Companion without installation. The approved duration and revocation from the PC determine how long access remains valid.

A paired phone can view status, lock, or request an unlock according to its permissions.

Quitting stops keyboard and mouse protection: authentication is required before closing is authorized.

A paired device finds the PC again after an interruption, with explicit connection states.

Suspend it, or revoke trust: revoking requires a new pairing to come back.
