With Vimeo vids, we see lots of people raising issues (like this one, #15980 ) when they are trying to provide a -Password param, which is the wrong choice for the Vimeo domain for password protected videos. If a user tries to download a password protected video and provides no password, there is a UI hint in the error message for that...but not if they use the patently wrong param like this.
This patch adds a specific hint on the Vimeo wrong username/password scenario to mitigate this in the future, like #15980
