Sequoia keeps logging me out

This is VERY annoying. Just downloaded Sequoia, and I get logged out after inactivity. Now, I know all about SystemSettings->Privacy&Security->Advanced->"Log out automatically after inactivity". IT IS OFF. Rebooted, same deal. Something is making the system log me out, and I don't understand what it is. Sequoia isn't paying attention to "Log out automatically after inactivity" being off.

iMac 24″, macOS 15.3

Geez Louise. Yes, iPhone Mirroring had Automatic Authentication selected in settings. But iPhone Mirroring wasn't launched!!! I launched iPhone Mirroring and deselected Automatic Authentication , and now I can set "Require password after screen saver ..." to "Never". So Automatic Authentication persists, even when you aren't using iPhone Mirroring.
