I had a brief moment of technological joy when I worked at a place that had strict rules about leaving your computer unlocked, which I always struggled with.

I had this new Symbian phone with Bluetooth (2?) and there was an app you could get for OS X that would lock your machine when it lost BT signal.

Sub in a larger battery (still one of my favorite mini hacks, removing a little plastic so the 30% bigger Ngage battery would fit) and I was good to go, until the app stopped working.

Big part of why I bought an Apple Watch (and then keep forgetting to set it up)

I worked in a place in 2006 where my username was a badge and my password was my fingerprint.

The badge had to be inserted into a reader for the computer to be unlocked. It was also attached (via a badge holder) to the RFID badge needed to open any locked doors. This meant that to get to and go to the washroom, I had to take my badge out, which locked the computer.

It was a very neat and secure system.
