You and anyone else that encounter issues subsequent to updating to this version of iPadOS might consider submitting a Bug Report via Apple's Product Feedback portal.  For iPad and iPadOS:

Feedback - iPad - Apple

When submitting your Bug Report, please ensure that you include details of your iPad model and installed version of iPadOS within the body-text of your report along with details of the problem. Do not rely upon the pick-list - as this rarely includes the current version of iPadOS; if iPadOS 17.7.7 is not yet listed, choose the nearest from the available options (iPadOS 17.7.6?).

Every Bug Report counts.

For the login issues, i have read them a lot the last few days here on the community

you also might want to report this as feedback to Apple, so that they know you;re affected as well. Please do so using this link
