Local Passcode for Fast Linken Sphere Locking
A system lock protects the entire computer. But if you are working on a shared computer or stepping away from an already unlocked device, it is not always convenient to close all applications or log out of your account.
In the latest update, we added Local Passcode — a separate lock for Linken Sphere. With a single click, you hide your workspace, profiles, and running sessions. When you return, enter the password and continue working from exactly where you left off.
How Local Passcode works
The screen lock can be set up in just a few clicks:
- In the bottom right corner, click the lock icon.
- In the window that appears, set your desired password and click Set.
- The Passcode is now set. To lock the application, simply click the lock icon.
When locked, Linken Sphere completely hides all running sessions, regardless of which screen they were on. After entering the password, the workspace is instantly restored — windows return to their places, and you continue working from that exact moment.
Feature details
When Local Passcode is enabled, the auto-login feature is activated automatically.
You can disable the Passcode in the license management section: click the logo in the top left corner and select "Local Passcode".
If you forget your password, click Sign Out on the lock screen. The application will log you out of your account. You can then log back into the system using your Linken Sphere account login and password.
The Local Passcode feature is already available to all users in the latest update for macOS and Windows.
Conclusion
Local Passcode helps quickly restrict access to your Linken Sphere workspace when your computer remains unlocked. Running sessions and profiles are hidden until the password is entered, and after unlocking, the application returns to its previous state.
Fewer compromises between security and convenience. Your workspace is yours alone.
Frequently asked questions
- No, sessions continue to run in the background. Only their display on the screen is hidden. All processes (downloads, automation) remain uninterrupted.
- Local Passcode protects the application while it is running. If you completely close Linken Sphere, the program will immediately prompt you to enter your Local Passcode the next time you start it.
- The Passcode itself cannot be recovered, but you will not lose access to your account. Click Sign Out on the lock screen — the program will log you out of your account. After that, simply log in again with your Linken Sphere login and password.
- Local Passcode is a protection for the application interface. It hides your windows and profiles from prying eyes, but it does not encrypt system files on the disk.
Why Google Blocks Accounts and What Your Antidetect Has to Do With It
Google has once again complicated the mechanisms of digital identification by deploying a new, more sophisticated layer of protection based on proprietary HTTP headers. This quiet change caught most of the market off guard, triggering a wave of rushed updates. While others hastily released superficial 'fixes', we realized that we were dealing not with a minor issue but with a fundamental shift that required deep and comprehensive analysis.
SOCKS vs HTTP Proxy: What’s the Real Difference and Which One to Choose?
There are times when you don’t want a website to link the request back to your device. That’s where a proxy comes in, it acts like a middle layer and sends the request for you. The site sees the proxy’s info instead of yours. It’s a go-to trick when you’re trying to see a page that’s not available in your region, pull content that’s restricted by location, or avoid hitting a wall when sending lots of requests.
The Best Alternative to OBS Studio
Working with a webcam on many online platforms can turn into a real challenge. A strict oval or rectangular frame appears on the screen, but your image doesn’t align perfectly with it. As a result, the system blocks further progress, demanding perfect alignment, and your workflow is disrupted before it even begins.
