[Bug 411559] [NEW] Unfriendly message upon typing incorrect password (Policykit-GNOME/GDM/gnome-screensaver)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Vish (vish):

When I type my password incorrectly at GDM, and also at PolicyKit
dialogs, the response is a label displaying the words "Authentication
Failure." This would likely give my grandmother a heart attack. Instead,
we should project kindness and understanding so our user who is
struggling to remember her password, or perhaps made a typo, does not
feel that she has just "failed". I suggest: "Incorrect password. Please
try again."
