Hey, just started looking into FF XIV/this repo today and I had no idea that I have to register for the free trial.

I managed to log in once and click on something about downloading the full game, but then the launcher crashed (or rather stopped responding) so I decided to kill it and restart. After that I wasn't able to log in again and the following message was displayed:

I assume this message comes directly from Square Enix or something and it is quite clear, fair enough. However after I clicked 'OK', the subsequent attempts to log in resulted in 'Invalid password' message (or something along the lines of it) and that got me confused. After I figured out how to register for the free trial the message disappeared completely.

Is this 'invalid password' message (which unfortunately I don't have documented in any way) fixable or is that also coming from Square Enix side? Maybe some kind of check after receiving that first message could be added?

As a side note, the \r\n is not parsed :)

Indeed \r\n is a bit wrong here (this is technically a .NET exception that got thrown in compiled native code and passed via JSON to the Swift side of things where it gets wrapped in a Swift Error).

Concerning the error messages all of these directly come from SE; they like to return the invalid password one if too many login attempts were made in a too short amount of time though.
