Bug Description
When the graphical authentication prompt is displayed it follows the scaling of the primary monitor even if its displayed on another monitor with a different scaling factor.
In the attached screenshot I've triggered the prompt on my external monitor which is at 100% scaling. The primary monitor on my laptop is using 200% scaling.

This is something that will fix automatically when you enable the "fractional scaling" even though you're not using fractional values, so I feel that's something that we won't change as upstream integer scaling is very likely being deprecated in non-x11.
