Bug Description
When I attempt to log into a local (Getty) console, having entered my username, the password prompt appears but then the cursor moves to the next line as I'm typing the password, and the log in times out with a 'Login incorrect' message, then the console prompt loops, displaying '[machine-name] login', followed by 'Login incorrect', until systemd restarts the service for that console.
