This bug has security implications because while VT switching is broken, all keyboard input is being captured on what appears to be an inaccessible login terminal. Each time you hit the enter key a log-in attempt is made and, of course, fails. The failure is logged in the systemd journal. The journal message can (and often does) contain passwords the user entered into other services during normal use of their desktop.
