Cant require password at log on

Cant require password at log on

[blinux-list]

Dear List,
I installed Linux Mint Mate 21.
At installation, I chose automatic sign in.
Now I want to change it to require my password to log in.

I can?t seem to do it. Any suggestions?


Thanks,
Rob

Hi,
Thanks for the search results, but none of the standard methods would work.
I resolved it by removing two lines containing to auto log in from the following file.
Etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
Thank you for your help.
