After I updated my kernel and rebooted just an hour ago, I can no longer login to my PC. It claims my password is invalid while attempting to log into my user and the root account. I know I am not getting my password wrong becuase when booting directly to bash, I can su to my user, unlock my fscrypt encrypted home directory with the login protector, change my password when su'd to my user, and sudo -s back to the root user all using the same password that it claims is invalid when I boot my system normally.
Booted into bash, password working perfectly fine:
Booted normally, password is magically invalid now:

Current standard issues
----------------------------------
Apparent bug in faillock: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/67644
Removed tally module referenced: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/67641
.pam_environment parsing: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/67636

So then the solution for now is to downgrade pam and pambase?

No. The solution is to identify which issues apply and either remove tally references, set the faillock config to deny=0 or clean up your pam_environment.
Just as those bug reports say…

Am dumb, didn't read more. Merged the pacnew and am able to login again.

Hi, can you be quite a bit more specific for a newbie ? Which pacnew did you merge with what ?
Thank you
