Login page allows account enumeration #40

Description

@JohanBraeken

When logging ins, there is a different errormessage generated when a password is invalid, or when the user doesn't exists.
This allows unauthenticated users to enumerate valid accounts. This information can be used to start a brute force, fishing, spamming, etc... attack.

Please see the OWASP project for more information on how to handle errormessages regarding authenticationfailures.
