Using an embedded lock and logging in with wrong credentials results in error message `WE'RE SORRY, SOMETHING WENT WRONG WHEN ATTEMPTING TO LOG IN.` which is obviously wrong. It should report `Wrong username or password.` according to your [translation list](https://github.com/auth0/lock/blob/master/src/i18n/en.js).

According to dev console, it is really wrong password or username.
