Description
### Steps To Reproduce
1. Go to the login screen.
2. Now, make sure that at least one of the next three things is incorrectly chosen/typed so that it results in a login error:
- Chose the server region (US, EU, self-hosted - valid or invalid)
- Enter your BW account email address. (valid or invalid)
- Enter your master password. (valid or invalid)
### Expected Result
The following error message was adjusted some time ago on most BW clients/apps. The mobile app should show the same error message (for UI/UX consistency).
(that "newer" error message of the other BW clients/apps says: "Invalid master password. Confirm your email is correct and your account was created on vault.bitwarden.eu." - of course the last part would be vault.bitwarden.com if you're trying to login on the ~~EU~~ US server region).
### Actual Result
The following error message is not consistent with the other BW clients/apps and was not adjusted accordingly. --> the UI/UX is inconsistent
(this "older" error message just says "Username or password is incorrect. Try again.")
### Screenshots or Videos
First, the **Android app's** current and UI/UX-inconsistent error message:
Current **web vault** (2026.5.0):
Current **desktop app** (2026.5.0 - Win 11):
Current **browser extension** (2026.5.1 - on Vivaldi/Win 11):
### Additional Context
Please check the iOS app's error message as well for UI/UX (in)consistency.
