From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

In theory it should be on all monitors. At least on mine, all 3 monitors display the login screen and any of them can be used to input the password.
You can edit the settings from KDE's settings to copy the KWin monitor configuration to it, you probably want to set the primary display.
The prompt screen is the same on both monitors. But the typing cursor is in the password box on the secondary monitor.
I had a go at setting the kwin primary using another method but I'll have a look at copying the settings across like you said.
If just follows the cursor so if you move the mouse to another screen you can also input your password there.
The only difference is which one the mouse cursor is on initially.
Interesting. That's not what happens on mine. I have to actually click into the password box on the primary screen if I want to use that one. Password entry works on both screens so doesn't really matter which I use, it is just a cosmetic thing that bothers me.
