From their repo:

Plasma Login

Plasma Login provides a display manager for KDE Plasma, forked from SDDM and with an new frontend providing a greeter, wallpaper plugin integration and System Settings module (KCM).

What we want

Great out-of-box experience in multi-monitor and high DPI and HDR

Keyboard layout switching

Virtual keyboards

Easy Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Vietnamese (CJK) input

Screen readers for blind people (which then means volume control)

Remote (VNC/RDP) support from startup

Deeper Plasma integration including:

Display and keyboard brightness control

Full power management

Pairing trusted bluetooth devices

Login to known Wi-Fi for remote LDAP
