Disable Login Prompt after Screensaver

Question

I want the screensaver on, but when I move the mouse over the screen, I don't want to be prompted for the password.

Is there any way of doing this?

I see that the screensaver setting has been removed since version 11, and been replaced with GNOME Screensaver.

I don't see that on 14.04 - unless it is hidden? – Kevdog777 Dec 02 '14 at 11:34

I found in Brightness & Lock > Require my password when waking from suspend. I unticked that, but not sure if that was correct? – Kevdog777 Dec 02 '14 at 11:36
By the way, I found the setting in the privacy section, on Ubuntu 16.04 (for anyone using that version). – franzlorenzon Jun 17 '17 at 07:36
