Not asking for password after hibernate? (infosec.pub)

I just hibernated my laptop and then brought it back up, and it went straight into LMDE without asking me for a password on a lock screen. That seems.. like weird behavior. Is there something I can set to fix that?

In the Screensaver settings you can turn on "Lock the computer when put to sleep".

I already had that set. I assume it doesn't look for hibernation without first going to sleep? Since I explicitly went through Quit - Hibernate.

Sleep should be the same as hibernation, I think? Or is sleep/suspend and hibernate different?
It works for me but I'm using the standard Mint based on Ubuntu, not LMDE, so maybe there's a bug with it on LMDE. You might want to check in the Mint forums.
