Comment (by subrataemfluence):

 Neither anything is broken nor login did not work!

 All I wanted to say is if something is not necessary to show why should we
 especially when we can be more specific about it. If we have a proper
 email address check and specific error message related to it, why we
 cannot be specific when username is checked.

 I may be wrong, but to my understanding removing the phrase "or email"
 when not checking for email address is probably a better idea.
