I'm running Plasma with sddm. After updating I can't login

Can confirm this behaviour too, since yesterday I think (I update every day). This behaviour was the “default”, no need to create another user. On a laptop with AMD + Nvidia

from the pacman logs I can see that from the 14th qt got updated from 6.6 to 6.7 and then 6.8. On the 10th kde went from 6.1 to 6.2

edit:
kde 6.2.1 is availabe now, updating and will report if anything changes

edit 2:
the update did not fix it. I noticed the color of the reboot/logout etc icons in the second screen, the one with the non working login, is different from the main one, it’s greyish and looks a bit like the disabled state of buttons
