# Auto-Lock

## **What is Auto-Lock?**

Auto-Lock automatically secures your Comet wallet after a period of inactivity.

This is a built-in safeguard to ensure that even if you forget to manually lock your wallet, it won't remain accessible indefinitely.

## **How It Works**

* After **5 minutes of inactivity**, your Comet wallet will lock itself.
* Once locked, any attempt to access the wallet will require the wallet's password.
