Public bug reported:

If a user attempts to login without entering any login details an error
bar is shown which contains 2 identical error messages: "field is
required.".

Also, if the user enters a username but no password, then the same error
message as above is shown, along with another error:  "Sorry,
unrecognised username or password.", however if the user enters a
password, but no username then only the "unrecognised username or
password" message is shown.

This is inconsistant, confusing and unhelpful.

I suggest that the error messages are changed so that the following errors 
messages (or similar) are shown instead, and never more than a single error is 
shown:
"A username and password are required to login."
"A password is required to login."
"A username is required to login."
"Sorry, the username and password combination provided was not recognised."
