Research direction

Start by locating the login form and the code that handles invalid credentials, then reproduce a failed login to trace the silent failure. Done means the form visibly tells users that their credentials were invalid instead of leaving them without feedback.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

triage

When a user enters invalid login credentials, the application does not display an error message. The login attempt silently fails, leaving the user on the same page with no feedback.
This creates confusion for users who are unsure whether their credentials were incorrect or if the system is unresponsive.
