A nice warning should also appear when you introduce an incorrect password.

Yep!  We have mocks for showing red boxes in appropriate places.  We'll also replace the modal dialog with an interstitial.

Meaning the error field?  Yeah, I could see this.  I expect a number of rotation issues, which we'll try to hit in a single pass later.  Next one you see, can you file a bug and starting adding to it?  Ta.
