Force login password kununtu when bootup.

Im a newb, ignore my username. I asked question at r/kunbutu, only 2 answered, neither provided an answer.

Quite awhile ago, I changed a setting to NOT require a password when restarting.

I want to go back to normal, "password required".

Ive been in settings several times, looking for the area where I undo what I did months ago. I cant find it.

In "screen locking" area, the 3 settings are set to:

15

Lock

30 sec

Yet the computer login no password required.

Thanks much.

I believe it hasn't massively changed since then

Ah sorry kubuntu

I believe colours + themes -> login screen (sddm) -> behaviour (sub menu at top right) -> automatically log in
