This is not the fault of lightdm but of pam-kwallet. See this other

F27 problems with pam?

I think it's too early to assign blame. There clearly *is* some sort of
problem between lightdm/pam-kwallet/polkit, but where exactly and how to
address it has yet to be determined.
Formal bug tracking the issue is here, if you want to follow along:
