In bug 783827,  the project maintainer mentioned that the keyboard switcher was disabled because it caused problems.

So I guess they're working on it.

I used the onscreen keyboard as a workaround, but that's far from
ideal...

Title:
  LightDM doesn’t support per-user keyboard layout

Status in Light Display Manager:
  New
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This is a major regression over GDM, since having to type your
  password with another layout is really a PITA.

  Especially with mixed dvorak/non-dvorak users which have totally
  different keyboard layouts.
