Change Default Login Error Messages in WordPress

When an invalid username or password is entered, by default WordPress displays a detailed error message stating whether the username is invalid or the password entered for the username was wrong. Such a detailed message can provide a useful hint to the hacker/attacker.

But with the help of following code, which you need to put in your theme’s functions.php can easily change all login error messages to something else which you want to show. (Pastebin Link)
