Locking screen does not ask for password when it should

My lock screen settings in the latest version of Bazzite (43.20251118.0 Kinoite, KDE Plasma 6.5.2) are not being respected. I cannot for the life of me get my computer to ask me for a password to unlock my screen from the lock screen. The lock screen just disappears on any input as if it was only a screensaver. gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen returns false. I have toggled it to true then back to false and it has not changed anything.

Solution
this would suggest that you have a user account with a blank password?
