Change default django error messages for AuthenticationForm

I currently use this alternative AuthenticationForm:

class AuthenticationForm(AuthenticationForm):
    username = forms.CharField(widget=forms.HiddenInput(), initial="members")

    def confirm_login_allowed(self, user):
        pass

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(AuthenticationForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields['password'].error_messages = {'incomplete': 'Please enter a valid password.'}

        for field in self.fields.values():
            field.error_messages = {'required':'T {fieldname} is required'.format(
            fieldname=field.label)}

Some of this code is useless, but I'm trying to change the error message for when the user enters an incorrect password. Currently, django supplies the error message: Please enter a correct username and password. Note that both fields may be case-sensitive., though I would like it to be Please enter the correct password.

This is an edge case, I suppose.

Thanks for any help.

can you try it?

class AuthenticationForm(AuthenticationForm):
    username = forms.CharField(widget=forms.HiddenInput(), initial="members")
    password = forms.CharField(error_messages={'incomplete': 'Please enter a valid password.'})
