Automatic Login After Sleep

[ashish-kus]

When my system wakes from sleep mode, Hyprlock skips requesting a password and unlocks on its own. This poses a security risk. Also, multiple Hyprlock instances appear afterward, suggesting a malfunction. Windows behaves oddly too.

Expected:
Hyprlock should prompt for a password post-sleep to maintain security.

Current:
Hyprlock auto-unlocks post-sleep, leading to multiple instances, impacting system stability.

EDIT: Hyprlock sometimes displays the lock screen but unlocks automatically. This leads me to suspect that Hyprlock is unlocking itself while DPMS is off. Additionally, multiple Hyprlock instances appear after unlock.

I had a similar problem (no lock, multiple instances running) that was linked to this issue on hyprland.
The corresponding fix worked for me.

it's a different issue than you linked but it's also fixed in git.

If you want a "workaround" for 0.40.0, wherever you call hyprlock call pidof hyprlock || hyprlock
