I have a problem and I am not finding the variable to solve, I have a site in WP and when I try to login and neither the password nor the email exists, I get the error message: ERROR: The username or password you entered is incorrect. Lost your password? I tried to find this phrase in wp-login.php but I did not find it, could you help me? Note: I tried to use the loco translate but he does not think that phrase!

I even managed to change the error message, but it is replicating to all other pages, I would like it to appear only on the login page

I tried to make it appear only on the login page this way

functions.php

function erroLogin(){
add_filter( 'login_errors', 'rs_custom_login_error' );
function rs_custom_login_error(){
    return $error = "Informações não existem ou estão erradas!";
}
}

page.php

<?php if ( is_page( 'login' ) ) { ?>
<?php erroLogin(); ?>
<?php } ?>

And I tried that way too.

functions.php

<?php if ( is_page( 'login' ) ) { ?>
add_filter( 'login_errors', 'rs_custom_login_error' );
    function rs_custom_login_error(){
        return $error = "Informações não existem ou estão erradas!";
    }
}

I was able to solve my problem, follow the code in case someone needs the solution:

add_filter('login_errors','login_error_message');

    function login_error_message($error){
        //check if that's the error you are looking for
        $pos = strpos($error, 'incorrect');
        if (is_int($pos)) {
            //its the right error so you can overwrite it
            $error = "Um ou mais campo estão em branco ou dados não existem!";
        }
        return $error;
    }
