indeed, that’s a known bug with the current state of testing / unstable without a good short term solution.
This is fixed by upgrading to Plasma 6 but it is not ready for unstable yet.

The accounts management stack is a bit complex with bits in Plasma itself, the kaccounts-* packages from KDE Gear and the "signon*" packages.
We started uploading the signon* packaging in the hopes that Plasma would follow shortly but this couldn’t be done yet.


Sorry for the inconvenience.
