Same here, I have WooCommerce installed but the issue remains even if WooCommerce is disabled.
As soon as I turn off iThemes Security off, the messages appear again. If I turn it on again, the messages apper empty again.
I have found this other user who seems to have the same problem:

Hey All,
Could you try disabling all other plugins and see if that helps? If it does help, reactivate the plugins one at a time to find the conflicting plugin(s), if any.
Thanks,

Hello Gerroald
If I disable all plugins I can see the error messages.
As soon as I enable just iThemes Security, the error messages don’t show anymore. All other plugins disabled.
I’m using WordPress 3.9.1
Hey Johngalt12,
I’ve been able to recreate this as well. I’m going to see if I can track down the conflict, and I’ll inform the developer. I’ll make sure and update to here when I know more.
Thanks for reporting this,
Gerroald
Hi there,
I had exactly the same problem, but I was able to localise the source of it:
in file ‘class-itsec-tweaks.php’ at line 84 I found the line
“add_filter( ‘login_errors’, array( $this, ’empty_return_function’ ) );”
When I have commented it out, the error message appear on its place.
Hope it would help you to fix the bug with next update 🙂
Thanks imt_anna
It looks like this is an option in the plugin settings themselves… I’m guessing this feature is to prevent login errors from showing on the admin login page (for security reasons) but it is also affecting the regular user login page, which it shouldn’t.
I think the simplest fix is just unchecking the “disable login error messages” option in the plugin settings.
