Check your screen saver


Open Settings & search “screensaver“. Look for a search result which says Turn screen saver on or off and click on screen saver setting. Here that even if you don’t use a screensaver, the time value is used to lock the screen. You need to set this to None and make sure the checkbox is off so that it doesn’t require a password.
