That was it. I'd been emailed privately about the setting under "Security", but that was already set to 1 star. I'm not sure what that setting does, but it didn't fix the problem. The setting under Login Manager was set to no echo.

The security one affects the password dialog you see when you try to run an app as root inside kde Dylan
