Overly specific error message?

Using PG 10.7 and JDBC org.postgresql:postgresql:42.1.4

I had only a single slash between postgresql: and the host

    jdbc:postgresql:/some.host.name:5432

I got

    org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: FATAL: password authentication
    failed for user "some-name"

Naturally I tested and re-tested connecting manually as that user and 
with the supplied password.  Eventually of course I started looking 
around a little more thoroughly...

I wonder if the message needs to be specifically about password 
authentication?
