SUMMARY
The plasma lockscreen does not display 2FA messages when used on Wayland. Messages such as "please touch the device" do not appear, much like in SDDM.

1. Start a wayland session
2. Lock screen
3. Unlock screen

OBSERVED RESULT
No messages are displayed


EXPECTED RESULT
A message saying "please touch the device."

Thank you for reporting this issue in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version? Like Plasma 5.25, or ideally 5.26? I ask because Plasma 5.25 ushered in a lot of PAM changes that might have fixed this.

Can you check? If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "CONFIRMED" when replying. Thank you!

Hi Nate! Thanks for getting back to me. I have since stopped using 2FA on my machines. Since no one else has chimed in to talk about this issue, I guess this can be closed. I think it's mostly related to the screen locker displaying messages coming from PAM.
