AaltoLunch defect: Login failure message #6

Only error message on Login screen is “Login failed”. It would be better to give error messages, which give a hint what is wrong (e.g. “username and password don’t match” or “no account for this username exists”.

Usability defect

ASI returns response with "401" which means "Unauthorized". It is not having any detailed information whether the user name was wrong or password was wrong.
