This minor ux bug has been bugging me for a while and now I am finally reporting it.

See screenshots. To replicate:

1. on my invite only community, try to log in with a password and use the wrong password - error message is correctly displayed here.

2. click to log in via email link and see the error message persists

1. submit the form - you got it! error message persists.
