    Description

      Reproduction step:

      • Try to login with an user (let's say Admin) 3 times with a wrong password
      • Leave the login page (back to home, or just open a new tab)
      • Try again to login from a clean login page (not one loaded after 3 failed attempts) with the right password

      Obtained result:

      • An error message will say that there's "invalid credentials" (see screenshot)

      Expected result:

      • I guess the error message should talk about a security issue? Not quite sure how we should present it.
