Bug Description
After a recent install of the 18.04 (why is a separate story), I notice that after some number of successful screen locks, I become locked out of the desktop with an authentication failure. During those unsuccessful attempts to log in, syslog shows:

one new line for each attempted log in. This is occurring once or twice a day. Sometimes, it works again. Last time, I needed to reboot.
Since this is a fresh install, albeit with my desktop files being restored via CrashPlan (which could be part of the problem?), I thought that this warranted a report.

Addendum: I was running the Xorg ("Ubuntu") session when the problems occurred. I'm trying the Wayland session now, so the autogenerated tag is not correct, and maybe not relevant.
