Unlock Windows 10 with Bluetooth proximity?

Solution 1:

I found this program on SourceForge: BtProx.

It's open source, and although hasn't been updated since 2012, it works in Windows 10 (tested on build 11082).

It can lock your workstation, but can't unlock it (very difficult, as it goes against one of the reasons for the lock screen). Having said that, it gives the option to launch programs on lock and unlock, so you could implement your own system (say a custom screensaver/lock).

Solution 2:

Update to the latest: Windows creators update

You can find the Dynamic Lock toggle in Settings. Go to Accounts > Sign-in options and you’ll see it listed there. You can toggle the setting On or Off, but that’s it. There are no other settings, and it doesn’t seem to do anything at the moment.

Solution 3:

BtProx and Dynamic Lock only allow locking.

This program does both lock and unlock, notifies your phone if anyone tries to steal your laptop, allows to lock/unlock with your phone fingerprint reader and blocks the screen saver when you are within Bluetooth range.

You'll need to install the program in your PC, an app in your Android phone/smartwach and select a Credential Provider in the lock screen.
