Whenever I power up my system, I am automatically logged in. I never get prompted to type in my password. However, if I suspend the system (either from the power menu or by closing my laptop) I do get the password prompt.

In System Settings -> Security & Privacy -> Locking I have both options turned on.

How do I fix this? I expect a password prompt on power up.

If you go to System Settings -> User Accounts, and click your account, you'll see the option Log In automatically. Make sure it is disabled.

  • Ok, this was a bit buggy but I disabled it, restarted, enabled it and then it worked as expected.
