Description Max Li

Build Identifier: 0.3

When logging in while using a screen reader, if a user does not enter the correct username/password combination, the message about the error is not immediately apparent to the user, likely making them wonder what is going on.

Reproducible: Always

This is a perfect place for an ARIA live region.
Probably with aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true".

Here's a few examples of using aria-live: http://accessibleajax.clcworld.net/
The "Sign up for the CLC Fan Club!" example might be pretty close.
