I can not figure out my display problems..ill attach pictures of my settings ,but after so many minutes my screensaver starts without any problems .after a few hours my display goes black ( like its supposed to ) a few hours after that i can wake up my imac with moving the mouse then entering my password ...no problems..but then every morning when i go to wake my imac (late 2017) using catalina OS ,when i wake with my mouse ,my display now asks for my name and my password and takes longer to start...why is this happening ?

can you show me what settings you use to do this? when i had it set on never ,it still would shut down or somehow change my screensavers ,as if it restarted

this was 6mo ago.
after playing with it over the course of a week (time out cycle and all) i called apple 800 support.
apple customer sup may have more to say for them selves now

my recall you can turn off the id/pw requirement on the screenSaver wake up.
a ckBox is in SysPreferences/SecurityPrivacy
