Case 1:

- Open the login dialog
- Immediately click "Sign in" without entering a username/password

Message appears: Internal error during authentication

I would expect something like "You must provide a user name and password"

Case 2: Try the same thing in the "Create account" section and you get "User could not be created.". Again it would be better to say what the problem is

Case 3: Try to create a user that already exists. The error message says, "User could not be created." It would be better to say something like "Account already exists".

Some of this was fixed in Bug 345270 and the rest in Bug 334224.
