Can confirm; clicking on password fields doesn't change the focus, it always stays on the left screen. Ideally I think that the multiple views of lockscreen and logout-greeter should completely behave as one (if you type in the password it should appear in all text fields and it should look focused for all, the focused logout option should look focused on all the views) but that is probably out of scope for this bug report. Another option might be to go the "GNOME way" and have those stuff only appear on one screen (they also achieve this with their displaymanager while SDDM just mirrors the screen and doesn't know about orientation or other things). But yes, those things can be probably better discussed elsewhere. Feel free to link that here if you start a discussion, then I can follow up :) I do suffer from this in a slightly different manner: My docked ThinkPad has a closed LID, an external monitor is used (as the only one) - and I do have to move the mouse now to get the password prompt at the external monitor. Launching kscreenlocker_greet by hand (with and without --testing) makes it work as expected. I imagine it's an issue with how kwin treats kscreenlocker separately.
