When Mac is idle a while it requires me to use sign in password. Before this I only had to use the password upon rebooting.
iMac (M1, 2021)
Appel menu > System Settings > Lock Screen > Require password after screen saver begins or display is turned off > Never
That locked the screen. Instead I tried System Preferences/Security and Privacy and then chose General/Require password after XX hours. Never was not a choice so I went for 8 hours. Thanks for your reply--it gave me a direction for searching and let me know I'm not nuts. (this time) My Mac is on Monterey; I think Ventura has the Never option.
FWIW, disabling "Require password…" is the equivalent of "Never".
ahhhhh
makes sense

You're welcome.
