Bloqueo de pantalla
Select the Lock Screen button to lock your screen with a password.
Si habilitas una contraseña de administración cuando inicias Tails, puedes desbloquear tu pantalla con esa contraseña de administración.
Your screen will automatically lock after some time if you have set up an administration password. To disable this behavior, execute the following command in a console.

Suspender
Click Suspend to suspend your computer.
Mientras está suspendida, tu computadora ya no está computando pero sigue encendida, como si estuviera parada pero todavía viva.
Para reanudar desde la suspensión y volver al escritorio de Tails, presiona el botón de encendido de tu computadora.
Si quitas tu memoria USB Tails mientras está suspendida, tu computadora no se apagará inmediatamente y solo se apagará cuando se reanude .
An attacker with physical access to your computer and capable of finding your screen locker password or setting up a cold boot attack can compromise your Tails while suspended.
Para más seguridad, apaga Tails por completo.
