Should be in system settings. What environment are you using (Gnome, KDE Plasma, XFCE)?

Thanks to JHall2017 and frankbell. I'm in Gnome and I was able to fix the issue in terminal by changing user auto login to "false".
I found the fix while searching, but I forgot the exact text for the command. Thanks.
