That would answer my issue yesterday, but raises another question. What dictates if something is worthy of being put on the bulletin board on the main website? I added 2FA way back when to /etc/pam.d/system-login and that meant that pacman placed a .pacnew file alongside the modified system-login (as expected) on upgrade. But the notification about this got lost in the sea of packages which is on me of course. But seeing as this is a modification to a system critical file can (and did) cause a complete lockout of accounts on the machine due to `auth required` being the keywords put in place. I would have expected this to be on the bulletin board about possible manual intervention required. Perhaps I just missed it under another title?

I can't remember if I've added the following to /etc/pam.d/system-login or not:
auth required pam_tally2.so onerr=succeed file=/var/log/tallylog
The line was changed by https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commit/7afa3fb3a9e74c27f4c2af...
to
auth required pam_faillock.so onerr=succeed file=/var/log/tallylog
and pam_faillock was moved to /etc/pam.d/system-auth by https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commit/2d5af94ae55a5c98837ce9...
