Bug Description
When I type my password incorrectly at GDM, and also at PolicyKit dialogs, the response is a label displaying the words "Authentication Failure." This would likely give my grandmother a heart attack. Instead, we should project kindness and understanding so our user who is struggling to remember her password, or perhaps made a typo, does not feel that she has just "failed". I suggest: "Incorrect password. Please try again."

Robert, did I assign this correctly? Would you be responsible for this text in PolicyKit dialogs?
