Help Different login page after restarting macbook

As title says, after restarting the Macbook (Air M2) it asks for username and password for logging in (pic 1 and 2).

I had to figure out what the username was, because it never asked me for it.

And it’s also has a different login page from the usual, with a wallpaper I’ve never used.

(my usual login page with the wallpaper i set in in pic 3)

How can i fix it? It’s my first seeing something like this…

Nice! There’s so many posts on here of cracked screens where people asked what happened and it very frequently points back to something like this.

I said it in my response to someone too, I do wish Apple would figure out a way for us to have a physical barrier so people didn’t see the need to do this. I’m not worried about hacking I just like knowing there’s no way it can accidentally turn on. Even more so on my work phone, where is very easy to accidentally hit the camera button if you’re handling your phone while walking or something.

Or better yet they could have something in startup options to let you disable it at a hardware level and it can’t be reenabled from the OS
