After the checkbox becomes active, a block with the already specified username and a field for entering a password will be displayed to the right of it (4). Enter your password. Select the **Unlock mode** (5) and, if necessary, specify the Unlock values ​​for the proximity mechanism (6). Save the changes by clicking the **Save** button (7).
