After resuming from suspend on Plasma Wayland session the lock screen immediately triggers an authentication failure before any password has been entered.
error flow-
boot into plasma wayland session
login 
let the system stay idle for sometime to auto lock
wake up the system by any means (touching the touchpad or mocing mouse)
do not type the password
result

the journal contained pam_unix(kde:auth): unexpected response from failed conversation function conversation failed auth could not identify password for [username]
