Copying the proposed workaround here, since Reddit posts can be deleted

The Plasma Login greeter runs as its own user and doesn't know about your
display layout, so it tries to mirror/overlap both screens at the wrong
resolution. The fix is to give it your KWin output configuration. What i did
was copy my KWin display config to the greeter user.

1: Find the greeter user's home directory

getent passwd plasmalogin

It should return something like /var/lib/plasmalogin.

2: Copy your display config to the greeter user

sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/plasmalogin/.config
sudo cp ~/.config/kwinoutputconfig.json /var/lib/plasmalogin/.config/
sudo chown -R plasmalogin:plasmalogin /var/lib/plasmalogin/.config/

3: Log out and back in. The login screen should now be fine

If your config references any files in your home directory (i am using a custom
ICC profile), you'll want to copy those to a shared location like
/usr/share/color/icc/ and update the path in both configs, otherwise the
greeter won't be able to read them.
