Description
At the moment if you enter a wrong password it redirects to drupal.org/user and you either have to try again with a password or use the forget password link.
Looking at Netvibes which has a similar login interface, it simply tells the user the password is wrong in the pop up box and provides a link to forgot password without redirecting etc. WOuld anything similar be possible?

I would like to know the same.

this would need ajax login right?
so you actually submit the login in the background and check if it came back with failure and display an error
ps
also as soon as you hit enter, the box should switch to a dimmed version with a spinner
and it should display a message that says "validating log in" or "authenticating" or something like that;)

anyone know if this could be of use here: http://drupal.org/project/ajax_validation ??
it is definitely not an out-of-the-box solution, as it only even claims to work for node forms, and even then it seems to have issues... but someone who speaks javascript might be able to use it as a foundation.
i don't get how the thickbox login module could even be considered for use on a production site given this hole in its functionality.

New features are only added to 6-dev.

Could someone test out Thickbox user login with http://drupal.org/project/ajax and come up with a way to integrate them?

I think at the moment only way to have this is to use popups_api (I tested this).
