Require a password after waking your Mac
To keep the information on your Mac secure when you are away from it, set it to require a password when it wakes from sleep. When you return to your Mac, enter your login name and password to continue working.
> System Settings, then click Lock Screen 
in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)Require a password after waking your Mac

The suggestion did not work, I could not find anything around "after sleep or screensaver" on my screen. Maybe an update on my Ventura 13.6.6. change some settings. I dont know where but this is pain.
I worked several years in my home without waking it up with a code to get into it.. Base on the info given I should always put the code in... SO I WILL LEAVE IT AS IT IS. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME......
I WILL LEAVE AS IT IS AND WORK THRU THE CODE ENTRY EVERYTIME. I DO NOT SIT AT THE COMPUTER ALL DAY. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME...
OK, best of luck my friend! :)
I am having same problem last week or so. In Lock Screen settings, mine is set to NEVER when screen saver begins or display is turned off. It's a pain to do every morning! iMac Ventura
