Daniel, the setting "System > Security & Privacy > Lock phone > Lock
when idle" sets how long the phone will wait, if left untouched, before
locking the screen. I currently have it set to 1 minute. However, if I
press the power button to turn off the screen, and then immediately
press the power button to turn the screen back on again, I must enter my
PIN again; this is not controlled by the above setting. At the moment,
the phone basically locks every time the screen is turned off, and as
far as I can tell I can't change that without completely disabling
locking. What I'd like (and what I believe Selene is requesting) is that
"turn off the screen" does not always mean "and lock the screen".

Title:
  must unlock screen even if it was only off for a few seconds

Status in ubuntu-system-settings package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On Ubuntu Touch so far (vivid, mid-March 2015), it is still necessary
  to unlock the screen after it shuts off, even if the screen was only
  off for a few seconds.  This is inconvenient, and it would be much
  easier if the lock didn't activate for ~10 seconds after the screen
  turns itself off.

  If the user activates the screen-off event by tapping the power
  button, then it's okay to lock immediately.  If the screen times out
  though, it should probably delay before locking, to give the user a
  chance to turn the screen back on.

  Could we add a ~10 second delay between automatic screen shutoff and
  screen lock?
