my Mac locks way to fast

I was messing with the settings and now my Mac locks after a couples minutes of not being used. I don't know how to get it back to normal.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0

Hi fk2333,

You can change how long your Mac waits before locking by changing the settings in these areas:

System Preferences -> Desktop & Screen Saver -> Screen Saver. If you enable Screen Saver, your Mac won't lock until the screen saver activates.
System Preferences -> Battery. If Screen Saver is disabled, your Mac won't lock until the display goes to sleep.
System Preferences -> Security and Privacy -> General. Choose how long your Mac should wait to lock after the screen saver triggers, the display goes to sleep, or when you close the lid.
