Description
### Problem
When you leave your PC in a locked state but unattended it could be that some attacker might try to guess your password.
You might want to be aware of failed login attempts while you were away.
### Proposal
The password field should have a red accent color after a login attempt failed for the user which must only be cleared when a successful login for that user is done.
This also allows you to recognize when someone tried to guess your password when you were away.
