Macbook Pro 16 start up issue

Hi, normally I close my laptop screen (not shut down) to take a break before resuming to work half an hour later. When I open my laptop screen, the desktop page shows up, goes black for a split second and then comes back on asking for password.


I bought this machine in November 2020, so it's brand new.

Is this a recurring issue or a settings problem?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15

I can only assume this is a new issue...


What changed to precipitate the problem.



>system Preferences>Security & Privacy>General> psswd required after sleep (?)
