 For some reason, I am not getting the right error messages to display on 
 my login form.
 Right now, I'm getting the same errors that one should get upon 
 registration, such as:

 Minimum length is 8
 Must include at least 1 upper case
 Must include at least 1 number

 However, this is giving away too many clues for a mere login. I just want 
 the message to say password or email incorrect or something along those 
 lines. How can I do this?

Hiding the error is not my point. I want an error message when the user 
inputs an invalid email/password combination. However, the error message 
should just say something like Email or password invalid. It shouldn't be 
running the same check as it does when a user registers a password...

From the book http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/09#Authenticationwe 
know that:

*The password field of the db.auth_user table defaults to a CRYPT validator*


From http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/09#Customizing-Auth we know 
also that:

*You can add any field you wish, and you can change validators but you 
 cannot remove the fields marked as required*


(namely 'email', 'password', 'registration_key', 'reset_password_key', 
'registration_id' fields)

Finally we know that (
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/07#Validators):

*error_message* allows you to override the default error message for any 
 validator.


Consequently we can change the validators of auth.password field and 
customize error messages.

We could accomplish our target in the following way for example:

# in model db.py after auth.define_tables(username=False, signature=False)
default_password_validators = [def_val for def_val
 in db.auth_user.password.requires]
added_password_validators = [IS_NOT_EMPTY(error_message=T('Enter a value')),
 IS_LENGTH(minsize=8,
   error_message=T('Invalid password'))]
password_validators = added_password_validators +default_password_validators
db.auth_user.password.requires = password_validators
