** Description changed:

  In a new installation of Ubuntu there are incosistencies in the text
  used to describe when a user enters their password incorrectly. The ones
  I have found are:
  
  Logging in from boot:
  "Invalid password, please try again"
  
  Unlocking your computer:
  "Incorrect password"
  
- Authenticating an operation e.g. installing an application:
+ PolicyKit: Authenticating an operation e.g. installing an application:
  "Your authentication attempt was unsuccessful. Please try again."
  
- Putting in a password in the terminal:
+ sudo: Putting in a password in the terminal:
  "Sorry, try again."
  
  Entering a password on tty1-6
  "Login incorrect"
  
  It could be argued that the text used for logging in should be different
  to the other tasks, but even then there are inconsistencies
