    Abstract: For securing a portable device, a first input is received to determine whether a security feature is enabled. A second input is received from a sensor to determine a presence of a physical lock for securing the portable device. A prompt for a password is output in response to determining an absence of the physical lock. A third input is received to verify the password. Upon verifying the password, the portable device is enabled, otherwise it is disabled. The prompt for the password is bypassed and the portable device is enabled if the physical lock is present.
