Bug Description

When I am asked to supply my password on an Ubuntu 20.04 encrypted installation and I don't supply the correct password, Ubuntu says it might be a bad password.
I suggest to use proper language. A password can be:

strong or weak
right or wrong
correct or incorrect

Good and bad should be avoided in my opinion.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage.

With no information relating to the flavour or release of Ubuntu that you are using it is very unlikely that your issue will ever be addressed by an Ubuntu developer while your bug report remains assigned to the Ubuntu project rather than a specific Ubuntu package - please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage for help in assigning the correct package.

At the login screen

If you encounter a bug at the login screen, the package is the display manager: In Ubuntu 17.10 or above it is gdm3. But it is login screen which asks for the encryption key.
