Message:

Accessibility: Login and Registration: Improve the invalid username and invalid email messages.

  • explicitly informs users they can use their email to log in as an alternative to their username and vice-versa
  • shows the Lost your password? link only when an wrong password has been entered
  • uses a more appropriate copy by changing "invalid" to "unknown"
  • removes the all caps ERROR
