Okay that tells me the login actually worked from the perspective of logind, but something else prevented the next step. My first guess would be SELinux or maybe some sort of permissions problem in the home directory. Not sure how to check for SELinux issues, some ausearch incantation in emergency mode would be best. But otherwise, you could try booting with enforcing=0 among your kernel arguments and see if you can login. And of course checking permissions is easy from emergency mode.
