Subject: [PATCH] *: don't error out if a username doesn't exist in the backing
 connector

Instead of throwing a 500 error if a user enters an invalid name,
display the same text box as if the user had entered the wrong
password.

NOTE: An invalid username now returns much quicker than an invalid
password. Consider adding an arbitrary sleep in the future if we
care about masking which was invalid.
