Require password to switch to desktop

Hi folks, I have recently rebased to bazzite-deck-gnome; works great so far. Is there a way to make it require password when "switch to desktop" is chosen in Steam's Big Picture mode?
Solution
no, the only way to get something similar is to make a custom image and disable the autologin on the image itself
but this means you need to sign in each time in SDDM to get into gamescope and the desktop (as you will just select the session on the login screen)
