# Adjust timeout options

> How to configure auto-lock or logout timing to protect your Locker Vault

The timeout setting determines what Locker does after a period of inactivity. This helps keep your data safe when you step away from your device.

## Timeout actions

You can choose one of two actions when the timeout is reached:

* **Lock**: Requires unlocking with biometrics (fingerprint/face) or Master Password to continue.
* **Log out**: The session is terminated completely. You will need to re-enter your Master Password and 2FA code (if enabled) to access your Vault again.
