Windows 10: Password After PC Wakes UP

I have the latest versions of Windows 10 as of March 21, 2021. When my PC now wakes up it does not need a password to unlock it. How do I get that feature back? I had just followed some help on this page but it did not help as I could not find the areas mentioned to set this up as it was an older reply. Hopefully, someone can help me get this feature back so my PC will be locked upon waking up and until I input my password/PIN which I do have. Thank you

:)
