# Login Error Behavior

 * After testing numerous login plugins this one by far met my needs. Super easy
   to setup.
 * The only issue I’m seeing is IF a user enters incorrect credentials, there is
   no error message to inform the user they’ve made a mistake.
 * What happens in this scenario, the plugin grays out and appears to be processing
   but nothing else.
 * Is there a way to fix this? If the credentials are incorrect an error message
   should appear instructing the user to try again.

 * I figured out the login problem, we are using bp_custom.php which had code that
   conflicted with the plugin, once removed the plugin did put out an error:
 * > ERROR: Invalid username. Lost your password?
 * The problem with this error is that we are using a custom “lost password” page.
 * Where can I update this message and URL?
