SUMMARY
I had to delete ~/config/kdeconnect folder to be able to pair devices again. I have multiple users on this machine I pair my phone with and the Connected/Remebered Device list on the phone used to be "machine-name/login-id" But now the device list on the phone just shows desktop "machine-name" 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Pair a device with desktop user via widget or phone
2. Accept pairing
3. Pair a device with 2nd desktop user (on same desktop) via widget or phone
4. Accept pairing
5. Pair a device with 3rd desktop user (on same desktop) via widget or phone
6. Accept pairing


OBSERVED RESULT
"Connected devices" shows one name (desktop machine name) 
e.g. 
LinuxHost1

"Remembered devices" shows 2 devices of the same name (desktop machine name) e.g. 
LinuxHost1
LinuxHost1   


EXPECTED RESULT
"Connected devices" shows one name/login-id e.g. 
LinuxHost1/User1 
"Remembered devices" shows 2 devices name/login-id e.g. 
LinuxHost1/User2 
LinuxHost1/User3

WORKAROUND
Rename default hostname in kdeconnect setting on desktop to a unique name for all logins that are connecting to phone.
eg: 
Hostname-user1
Hostname-user2
Hostname-user3

This is intentional behavior intended to enhance the default privacy of KDE Connect, introduced in commit aa84aa5dcb6fdc70e18e31244f39d950d384ee3b
