Hi Amir,

Sure we always appreciate that :D

this message is read from i18n files so can be customized as you like.
but "Login failed! Your username and/or password are incorrect." sounds better.

I have to admit I took this message from one email client.

I've seen it plenty of times too; I think it implies the "combination of" the username and password does not match.
Couple of remarks though:
 - I'd rather avoid the exclamation mark
- Maybe we can differentiate between a non-existing user and a wrong password for an existing user. People can then override/ customize the messages if they feel that disclosing the fact that a certain username is valid (by saying that only the password is wrong) is a security threat.

Sameer

I hate be so picky but the login error message is a bit misleading

"Username and password do not match. Please try again"

This indicates that username and password should be same?



How about:

"Login failed! Your username and/or password are incorrect."


Thoughts?
