Description

@jackcarrozzo

Describe the bug
The error message for failed web login says both username and pwd MAY be case sensitive. It does not appear that username is in fact case sensitive.

To Reproduce
Attempt a login with incorrect pwd or odd casing in username

Expected behavior
"Password is case sensitive" might be better, if only to appease the most pedantic among us, unless there are indeed cases where username is case sensitive

Who is affected by the problem?
People who type their login info badly

What is the impact?
Very very very very minor

Are there security concerns?
Unlikely

Are there privacy concerns?
Unlikely

What are the proposed actions?
Adjust the error message

What is the proposed priority?
Very low / to be done with oncoming 2FA login changes perhaps

Provide a rationale for any/all of the above
Issue was mentioned to in jest, but, if we have an error message it should probably be fully true
