password protect desktop mode from sleep (onscreen keyboard in SDDM)

i installed bazzite on my deck. i'm trying to somewhat secure it so i'm not as concerned about being logged into my email and youtube on the desktop mode. i want to pasword protect it when i put it to sleep in desktop mode (ideally only when i'm not on my home network) i found this setting which seems to do what i want but i can't get the onscreen keyboard to show up

The on-screen keyboard can't function in the lock screen, there's a reason there's no lock screen on Steam OS I'm afraid nothing can be done to fix this

what would be the best way to secure my deck then?

Set a pin lock in steam game mode Same as SteamOS

that's unfortunate because i usually just play my games in desktop mode theres no way i could summon a onscreen keyboard and log in the same way i'm assuming tablets would do it?

Nope And I would recommend against playing games in desktop mode, that is a massive performance loss Kind of defeats the point of what the device is
