Invalid input causes unhelpful error messages

[Jef van Schendel]

Two related bugs:

1.

• Go to the Recover Password page.
• Enter an invalid username/email (e.g. one that contains spaces).
• Press submit button.

The form returns the "Incorrect input" error.

2.

• Go to the Create An Account page.
• Enter an invalid username (e.g. one that contains spaces).
• Press submit button.

The form returns the "Invalid input." error.

/me leaves mid-ticket, I'll improve this description later.

Ahem. So! I'm back. :)

Where was I... Right, so these two actions return unhelpful error messages, "Incorrect input" and "Invalid input.", respectively. Bug number 2 also exists on the Log In page.

What they should show:

• A more descriptive message.
• If applicable, a suggestion to fix the issue.

I marked this as UI, but I'm not sure it is :)

This seems to have been fixed. It now says "Logging in failed!" if you enter an incorrect username and/or password. This message seems to conform to the general practice in security for login forms.
