Login Page -- Password Error Validation + Input Focus

[mheppler]

You enter an incorrect password, the automatic input focus is put into the Username field, so 9 times out of 10, I end up typing my password into that field, and hitting enter, and getting ANOTHER validation error.

If possible, on validation errors for the password field, the focus should be in the password field.

I just tested this on https://demo.dataverse.org running v. 4.7 build 89-7a56c58 and it's easy to replicate the problem described above. After entering the wrong password, the focus goes to the username.

Looked into this while working on #5717. Not sure if this is a bug any more based on how the validation error message is written, "The username, email address, or password you entered is invalid."

Since we are not implying which field is wrong, we can not highlight one field or another. The username could be wrong, and the password could be right. I think the focus showing up in the first input is the correct UX. Closing this issue.
