Per discussion this is a server message, so there's not much we can do to be more "informative". Obvs this is misleading as is, so let's change the message to say "You have entered invalid log-in information. Please check your user name and password."

FYI the server is returning a correct (+ localized) message ("Invalid username or password entered. Please try again.") but we're overriding it with our own "Wrong password" message. Do we want to return the server message or show our own?

Looks fixed on 6.3.0 (1615). The message now says name or pw. Checked on a couple of languages as well.
