Description

I propose don't show message “ERROR: Invalid username” in wp-login.php page when user enters incorect password. There must be more common message in wp-login.php page like: “ERROR: invalid username or password”.

Also I propose don’t create new password by entering username in /wp-login.php?action=lostpassword. For creating new password user must enter email only, not his username.

For security reason it is better do not uncover existed usernames.
