Reason of focus loss is different in mantic&later (GNOME 40 series) than before (GNOME 3 series). For GNOME 40 series, I have temporarily applied a workaround in my personal configuration to disable the lock screen, but wouldn't recommend that in a work or school computer.

I finally realized that this is usually due to the "Software Updater" window popping up while I'm away from the computer, though it can be triggered by any window opening while the screen is locked. To reproduce: Open a terminal window and type "sleep 15; gnome-terminal", then immediately click on the upper-right notification area and select the "Lock" option in the popup menu. Observe the screen go into lock. Wait 15 seconds. Press a key like Ctrl or Alt to wake the screen. Attempt to type in the password (or use a fingerprint reader if you have one). Nothing happens. Click the screen (or possibly tap/swipe it if you have a touchscreen). The password prompt will now appear, and it should be possible to type in the password (or use the fingerprint reader) This is a very annoying behavior. It shouldn't be necessary to click/tap the screen to restore focus when the whole desktop has been taken over by the screen locker.
