Hi guys I am wondering if there is any way that I can have my computer require a password after it has been woken up from sleep, or after the screen saver has been on, while I have auto login enabled. I have auto login on because I am too lazy to enter a password every time I start up my computer or switch between partitions. But I still would like the security of requiring a password after my computer has been woken up from sleep, or if my screen saver has come on, is there any way to do this?

Hello BigDirrrty, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Yes, you sure can. What you have set so far is only for automatic log on at startup.
The tutorial below will show you how to enable password protection when resuming from a screen saver.
