With Plasma 5, use SDDM. lightdm is also a possible option. It is my understanding that KDM will be retired from service.
To be precise, KDM has been unmaintained for years. Upstream has removed it from the workspace in favor of SDDM.
Keep in mind, though, that the 4.x based KDM still works perfectly fine (so you can still use it if you want).
Note that for me, *only* KDM works "perfectly fine". The "S" in SDDM is derived from the word "simple", and simple SDDM is. SDDM lacks the feature richness of KDM. Last I checked, SDDM still lacked any option to specify particular users to be listed in its greeter. That alone makes it useless to me even if I ignore the other KDM options it lacks. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
