When entering the password during login, the keyboard layout is on an English keyboard, forcing me to use different keys to enter the same password.

Seems to be a known issue: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/1528

This is temporarily fixed by adding this to services.displayManager.sddm on the home configuration:

settings.General.GreeterEnvironment = "XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT=at,XKB_DEFAULT_VARIANT=";

For some reason, the xkb configuration for the keymap isn't taken over for sddm on wayland.
Might actually be a kwin bug. Either way, this works. Closing issue.
