Comment:

 That's a +1 on my side, though we could avoid to capitalize "Error".
 Not sure the word "Error" is even needed in this message. I think we could
 keep the two previous proposals:

 > Unknown username. Check again or try your email address.
 > Unknown email address. Check again or try your username.
