Login form error messages

Question

I am looking for some advice on how best to add error messages (eg incorrect password / username) on a custom Login form.

Tried the usual routes for documentation but have seen nothing as yet - all help appreciated.

I'm having the same issue, following the docs with: {% if errorMessage is defined %} {{ errorMessage }} {% endif %} But receiving no error messages if email or password are invalid: melnet.org.nz/professionals — Ryan, Commented Jan 31, 2015 at 7:50

Any login validation errors are passed back to the form and available via the Twig {{ errorMessage }} variable.

You can see an example of how to display them on a login form here: http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/templating/login-form

Thanks Brad - totally missed that and useful to know. Error messages may be a good section for the docs, as it's something always found in the other topic areas.
