Title:
  Inconsistency in wording used to describe password error

Status in GNOME Terminal:
  New
Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:

Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  In a new installation of Ubuntu there are incosistencies in the text
  used to describe when a user enters their password incorrectly. The
  ones I have found are:

  Logging in from boot:
  "Invalid password, please try again"

  Unlocking your computer:
  "Incorrect password"

  Authenticating an operation e.g. installing an application:
  "Your authentication attempt was unsuccessful. Please try again."

  Putting in a password in the terminal:
  "Sorry, try again."

  Entering a password on tty1-6
  "Login incorrect"

  It could be argued that the text used for logging in should be
  different to the other tasks, but even then there are inconsistencies
