How to Password Protect Screen Saver in Windows 10 [Tutorial]

A screen saver can provide additional protection against unauthorized access if you leave your device unattended at work or elsewhere. If your user account has a password, you may want to enable and configure the screen saver to automatically lock your user session once you leave your PC. When you return, you can close the screen saver and enter your credentials to access your user session.

A screensaver is an animated image or pattern that appears on your PC's screen(s) after you have not been active on the PC for a specified waiting period. Screensavers were originally used to protect older monochrome monitors from damage, but now they are primarily a way to personalize your PC or improve its security by offering password protection.
