 > I would like to go with Matt's version. It sucks when people get the
 invalid username or incorrect password message on sites and don't know if
 it's the wrong password or the wrong username, and takes twice as long for
 them to go through their various combinations.
 I absolutely agree.

 Since the username is still shown in the input, does saying it again in
 the error message improve anything?
