According to MSDN, messages such as PasswordRequiredErrorMessage will only be displayed if there is a ValidationSummary control on the page. The ValidationGroup property of the ValidationSummary control should be set to the ID of the Login control. share|improve this answer answered Sep 14 '11 at 18:11 Joe 82.1k21116229 When informe the ValidationGroup, take care, the ValidationGroup is case-sensitivity! –user1617296 Aug 22 '12 at 14:37 add a comment| Your Answe

I can set a custom failure text and I can add a literal on the page where the failure text is displayed if the login fails.
