Bug Description

I think this might be a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1870803 however, I can't find out to add my machine information to it.

A little more information I can add - not sure if it's the same for original reporter - when I first log into my account I get some sort of notification about gnome-screensaver not being enabled because gnome isn't installed; or something to that effect. This started upon upgrade to Focal.

TLDR: If I lock my account using the gnome-menu, then press ctrl+alt+F7, it immediately goes to my session without needing to type a password, bypassing all security.
