Feature proposal: Sharing via email-link + password: Add “wrong credentials” message

[farson2003]

When sharing a file via email-link and password, the receiver must enter a password.

When the receiver enters a wrong password or no password at all, the page simply reloads without any message such as “Correct password required”.

I think it would be good to have a little balloon or something, stating that the correct password is required to proceed.

So this is a feature proposal.

@jancborchardt Any thoughts? "Correct password required" sounds funny :)

When thinking about error messages, always think about how you would say it to friends.

I’d say: »The password is wrong. Try again«

»The password is wrong. Try again«

»Error 40: Self-destruction sequence activated«

»You typed in a wrong password you stupid idiot. Now because you can’t do anything right, we just deleted the file completely. You can clear that up with the person who shared the link with you. Good luck, dumbass.«

Even better :D

@MTGap missed the base on this one – does the message I suggested suffice, or is there already a pull request?
Better even: »Sorry, but the password seems to be wrong. Please double-check and try again.«

Haven't worked on it yet. Junior Job?
