For the first single time I just had to log twice from the screensaver, and the second login screen was unusual.
I am running XFCE 4.12 on Slackware 14.1, with xcreensaver 5.40.
The first login screen to exit the screensaver was normal. However, the screen then became black, and when I moved the mouse or typed a key it became white with a black square and some text saying something like
Blank screensaver, enter your password to login or click the icon to lock
along with the machine name.
However I cannot find any "blank screensaver" in xscreensaver's list, and it didn't look like an xscreensaver anyway (no login box, the login form took the whole screen).
Is such a screensaver known ? And could I have triggered its shortcut with random keys ? Call me paranoid, but I wonder if it might be some keylogger…

Read the manpage: https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/man1.html
Or type
man 1 xscreensaver
Search for blank - I found it almost immediately under the mode option.
blank When blanking the screen, just go black: don't run any graphics hacks.
Enjoy the other, prettier hacks!

I felt dumb for a minute, but after testing this mode doesn't seem to correspond to my issue : the password prompt is the same GUI box as with other xscreensavers.
