Swaylock works fine for me. But i prefer something that has password field; can be asterisks or dots, it doesnt matter. The point is if i make a mistake when typing, i can delete a word and correct it, instead of forcing a wrong unlock and try again.

Anything like that and also includes the session lock v1 protocol for Wayland?

Thanks! I'll give swaylock another chance. I'm currently moving back to sway from the Hypr* ecosystem.

How much do sway{,lock}-effects add to the experience?

    They have a list on their project page. I pretty much only use the clock and date features right now. It's kind of a shame that the main swaylock project isn't interested in adding a clock. Swaylock-effects also seems to be able to blur images, but i chose to do it with imagemagick instead.
