privacy: don't tell users what is the reason for a failed login

Makes it harder for strangers to probe the instance for presence of
certain users. This can make it harder to break in, as it is now
harder to tell is a username or a password are wrong, so bruteforcing
should probably take a bit longer if you don't know what exactly are
you doing.
