Bug Description

Not using Ubuntu, but Arch Linux. Lightdm version 1.18.2. I have enabled 2fa using google authentication (pam_google_authenticator.so enabled in pam). The first time works great; I enter my password and then a small banner pops up saying "Authentication Code". But say I enter my password incorrectly (which doesn't get checked until the authentication code is good) the second time I have to enter the authentication code there is no banner. Obviously not critical, but it does make it sometimes tough to remember if this is an authentication code entry or a regular password entry.

The default gtk greeter. I can attach config files if necessary.
