Comment (by chanthaboune):

 I would love for this to be a little more friendly, since the rest of that
 page **looks** so friendly! I've shared a few options below, so take your
 pick (or mix and match as needed).

 "I don't recognize that username. Check for errors or use your email
 address!"
 "I don't recognize that email address. Check for errors or use your
 username!"

 "ERROR: Invalid username. Check again or try your email address!"
 "ERROR: Invalid email address. Check again or try your username!"

 "Unknown username. Try again or use your email address."
 "Unknown email address. Try again or use your username."
