However, I seem to be asked for a password to unlock the screen when I come back to my computer. I have spent 2 hours trying to find the place where I can disable screen password locking but to no avail. I am perplexed and frustrated at how such an obvious function is so ****ed hard to configure. This is the impression I am getting of Linux in general - it is novice user-hostile and badly organised.

Let me try again. Could you be more specific about where this system setting is located. I cannot find it under yast->system or under applications->system.
There is a such a lock setting under the kde->desktop configuration which IS set to no password but I think it is probably subservient to the system setting. So, If I could find it, that would be great.
Tnx,

My problem with the screen lock is not cured after all. The lock still comes on after some time, not sure how long, so it may be that there is a second cause of locking that is independent of screen savers and power modes.
In the Privacy section of the Settings menu, I have "Screen Lock" toggled to Off. I walk away, and after 15 minutes, the screen blanks, and then after 30 minutes, my computer puts itself to sleep as I have set it up to do. When I come back and tap a button on the keyboard to wake it back up, I would expect, since I have "Screen Lock" toggled off, that my computer would resume at the same screen that it was showing when I walked away. Instead, I am presented with a lock screen that requires me to enter my password before I can get back to my desktop.
We implemented Encryption in our organisation. But, we found that after the installation of encryption trough Bitlocker, our devices lock automatically after 1 minute of inactivity. I understand that it's a great feature against devices theft. However, 1 minute is not really practical.
We have searched through the internet to edit this timer to a more reasonable time. We tried to change it trough windows settings by editing registry keys, nonetheless the issue is still there. In more, we removed the encryption software from our devices, but even after that, the auto lock is still there.
Hi there,
Thank you for reaching us. Can you validate as well the group policy applied on the device? Check the screen saver timeout if it's set to 1 minute. We don't impose a screen lock policy on our product since it's all managed via your local GPO or policy on your domain.
Thank you very much, I have checked the local GPO. With the right policy from: Computer Configuration > administrative templates > windows components > Control pannel > personalization > from there you can edit the screen saver timer. But it was not sufficient, after the policy enabled there was a way to edit the screen saver setting via regedit. Here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop, I was unable to access there before enabling the screen saver policy. From there, you change the value as needed.
That's really nice to hear that you have already achieved the desired screen saver set-up on your system. With that being said I will now proceed on marking your response as a verified answer as solution for the issue you've raised.
Is there a (fairly easy) way to make the screen blank and only offer the option to type in the password to see anything but that blank screen (or even stay on the original login screen until the password is entered)? I did search the forum here. If the answer is here, I may have not used the correct terms.
