That is a good thing. If it told you which was wrong, it would also be telling the hacker which is wrong, significantly reducing the problem for the hacker, since it will know which is right and can focus on the other.

A good password manager will automatically fill in your user name and password on most (90%) of the logins you do, and on the others, it will show you what your password is. They are safer, inexpensive, and make life easier.
