SUMMARY With Breeze SDDM theme, in French locale, when user enters a wrong password, it is no longer told to him that. Design change? STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Use french locale (not verified all other) 2. Choose Breeze as SDDM theme. 3. Try to log on by typing a wrong password. 4. See that black dots are " selected greyed" and dialog give no feedback. OBSERVED RESULT No precise feedback when typing a wrong password. You can see a subtle freeze but user can have later the control to retype the password. EXPECTED RESULT A message telling a wrong password has been typed.

Works for me in English, and I see in the code that there's supposed to be a message there. Does it happen again for you if you temporarily switch the language to English?

Does it happen again for you if you temporarily switch the > language to English? In facts, if SDDM displays a list of users, even in English locale or in French, there is no wrong password feedback. BUT if user must enter his user name and his password, the "Failed login" message is displayed. I upload to my youtube account a video of this behaviour.
Here are videos of the behaviour: 1) With Users list: https://youtu.be/u0EI9FRIG1c 2) With no user list, user must enter his Unix name: https://youtu.be/BDrQ2wbpEog
Thanks. Still quite odd. I get the message in both cases.
Are you able to reproduce this issue in Plasma 5.25 or 5.26? A lot of things changed there.
