After vCenter upgrade, the Logon screen is improperly formatted and might look like the below:
the text would read like the below:

Inorder to fix this, download and connect to the sso using jxplorer: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2077170
Note: Take a snapshot of the PSC/backup the vmdird database (/storage/db/vmware-vmdir/*mdb) before proceeding, deleting the wrong object can break the psc/vCenter.
Delete/remove the value on the attribute ‘vmwSTSBrandName’ under the object dn ‘cn=vsphere.local,cn=Tenants,cn=IdentityManager,cn=Services,dc=vsphere,dc=local’ using jxplorer
