Improve error when inputting incorrect password #813

Closed
Description
This is a hold-over from KeePassX and now that we have responsive developers it would be great to improve it.
Expected Behavior
When you input the wrong password, it should tell you you inputted the incorrect password.
Current Behavior
When you input the wrong password, you get: Unable to open the database. Wrong key or database file is corrupt. Noticeably absent from that is the possibility you inputted the wrong password. I have found many new KeePassX users confused by this error message and think that their database is corrupt because it is not immediately evident that they may have inputted the wrong password.
Possible Solution
Change the error text, for instance to: Unable to open the database. Invalid credentials provided.
Debug Info
