    Not to be pedantic but wouldn’t it be IsFirstLoginWithAttemptedPassword or am I missing something?

      No, it’s correct - say your password gets leaked across thousands of passwords. A hacker will try to crack all of them with a program that guesses them once, which as the image suggests defeats these types of programs

    As a non programmer, is the joke that humans will retype their password assuming that they made a typo?

    If so, sick indeed.

      The guy coding made it so, on your first attempt, even if you answer correctly, it will tell you your login failed due to incorrect username or password, to joke about how it feels like you always get it wrong on the first try
