I have a hot corner to lock my macbook but would like to be able to abort having to login again

I want the screensaver to appear, but If I move my mouse within a few seconds I don't want to login again. I had this on my old Macbook pro (2018) but I just can't find the setting for this on my new 2020 version and Google is not my friend in this issue...

Never mind - sometimes you just need to ask the question to find the solution. For anyone else wondering:

  1. Set hot corner to start screen saver (not lock computer)
  2. Goto security settings and set "require password...." 5 seconds after screensaver starts

Edit: Thanks dialabrain, didn't see your post until I posted my own :)
