Use the “Start after” pop-up menu to choose how long your Mac needs to be inactive for before the screensaver starts. If you don’t want a screen saver to start, choose Never.
The Hot Corners button gives you options to start or stop the screensaver or put your display to sleep by moving your pointer to one of the corners of the screen. Choose an option from the pop-up menu that corresponds to a specific corner.
Require a password after the screensaver has started
You can set your Mac to require your login password to unlock the screen after the screen saver starts:
Turn off your display or put it to sleep
Your Mac uses its processor, graphics chip and display when it displays a screensaver. To save energy, you can use Energy Saver preferences to choose how long your Mac needs to be inactive before the display turns off or goes to sleep.
If you're using a notebook computer, such as a MacBook Pro, you can set different times based on whether you're using your battery or are plugged in.
