Public bug reported:

The following happens with any user, WITHOUT typing any password !! Only one "ENTER" keyed.
Login: myuser
Password: 

Login incorrect
Login: 

Login incorrect 
...


To happens to all Alt+Ctrl+Fx , while no problem appears in graphical terminals or Gnome.
That appeared only after the last updates, with kernel 4.15.0-45 .
If I boot back to 4.15.0-43  the issue does not appear.

The /var/log/auth.log shows: 
login[6180]: pam_unix(login:auth): conversation failed
login[6180]: pam_unix(login:auth): auth could not identify password for [myuser]
login[6180]: FAILED LOGIN (1) on '/dev/tty3' FOR 'myuser', Authentication failure
login[6180]: pam_securetty(login:auth): cannot determine username
