    Description

      Entering an incorrect username/password combination into the login form produces the expected "you have specified an incorrect password..." message.

      However, once this is done several times and the flood controls kick in, that message is no longer displayed.

      The matter becomes especially unclear to the user if it was someone else who triggered the flood control in the first place. When the real account owner attempts to login (with an invalid password), they are repeatedly told to fill in the CAPTCHA, but never told that their password isn't correct.
