    change your screen saver settings so that the box is not checked for "On resume, display logon screen."

    When selecting your screen saver, do you have the box that says "on resume, password protect"? checked

    And it doesn't "log you off" per say it just "locks" the screen temporarily. In doing so, it goes back to the log in screen.
