How do I add a password for running Parallels?

Hello,

As it is now, whenever I click on the Parallels Desktop icon in Apps in Big Sur, I open Windows directly without having to enter a password.
How can I add a password to prevent others from opening Parallels on my Mac?

Thanks!

 

Hello Devid,
To set a password in the Parallels Desktop graphical user interface:

1. Open Parallels Desktop and select a virtual machine.
2. On the Parallels Desktop menu bar, select Actions > Configure to open the virtual machine configuration dialog.
3. Select Security.
4. Click the Custom password: Turn On... button.
5. Enter a password, then enter it again to verify and click OK.

Thanks, Parallels Team.
