I do not want to be asked for a password after being inactive

Question

Every time that I come back to my computer after being inactive (i.e. I am not in front of the computer), Ubuntu is (are?) locked and I am prompted for a password. How to disable this?

Note that I have Don't suspend enabled on Power -> Inactive. Also notice that my question differs from How can I stop being prompted to unlock the 'default' keyring on boot?

Settings>>Display -- there should be a "Require Password" option there. — TheWanderer, Jan 26 '16 at 23:36
Settings -> Security & Privacy was the answer @Zacharee1, but you almost made it, so if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have found it. Are you going to answer that? — gsamaras, Jan 26 '16 at 23:38
Settings -> Security & Privacy -> Waking from suspend @Zacharee1. Go on, thanks. — gsamaras, Jan 26 '16 at 23:40

Under Settings→Security & Privacy there is an option to disable requiring the password when the screen is awakened.
