Created attachment 1813235 [details]
an error message in a dialog 'register system' using activation key

Description of problem:

I want to register a system using activation key.

An application tells me "Error: Missing username or password" when I forgetten 
to fill a field "activation key" in a dialog "Register System".

It should tell me something like "Error: Activation Key is required"
or "Error: Missing activation key or organization" ... this is the same style of an error message as uses a registation with account.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

root@localhost ~]# subscription-manager version
server type: This system is currently not registered.
subscription management server: 3.2.19-1
subscription management rules: 5.41
subscription-manager: 1.28.19-1.el8


I know it is a small error. 
But it is a sign of profesionality to keep focus for details :-)

Make a decision yourself - see an attached screenshot.

BTW: an empty "organization" field is noticed by a message "Error: Organization is required when using activation keys...".
