omg KDE @kde if it ain't broken, fix it until it is?
KDE is an international technology team creating user-friendly free and open source software for desktop and portable computing. KDE’s software runs on GNU/Linux, BSD and other operating systems, including Windows.
If you encounter a bug, proceed to https://bugs.kde.org, check whether it has been reported.
If it hasn't, report it yourself.
PLEASE THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING HERE.
Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.
If you think you have found a bug, please report it at https://bugs.kde.org. This is will help get it solved as opposed to every other course of action.

Great! My advice is you politely comment on it with your own experience or your insight into what the correct behaviour should be. This will not only give devs a measure of the importance of this bug, but will also keep you in the loop of the process of its resolution.
@Bro666
thanks for the good advice, looks like most important feedback has already been given so I'll pass
also the account creation disclaimer is scary
The risk is low. Your email address is not visible by the general public. A spammer would have to go through a manual registration process to see it. Sounds like a lot of work for a small niche number of email addresses.
Either way, when in doubt, do as suggested: use your spam-catching email address.
@Bro666
spammers aren't the only bad actors 😉
I really hope KDE will come to their senses and allow more login options
