If a user attempts to login with a login view on a form and uses an incorrect password / user, can I record the user name used?

I want to count the number of failed login attempts and after three failures pass the user names tried into a table of failed login attempts.

The failure count and recording of the details is ont a problem, but how do I expose the user name keyed in, indeed is it possible?

Kind regards
Tim

If they have sucessfully logged in, Yes.

I would like to find out failed login attempts (I don't know if this is possible).


PS Amazingly fast reply, Thanks.

as far as I remember, it works also when you failed the login, in fact if you failed 3 times the account becomes blocked and you have to unblock it....

Hi again,

Do you know where the name is held? I've tried User.Identity.Name but nothing is returned.

(It's a bit like instant messaging on this forum :))

Thanks

Tim

it should be there.. but only if the user is logged :)

Hi Gonzalo,

I don't have a problem once the user has logged in, what I am trying to obtain are users names that do not log in sucessfully so that we can either identify random attacks from a specific IP address or (for good PR) to contact users that are experiencing problems.

If anyone knows how the user name field of a login view can be recorded after a user has clicked on the login button with either an invalid user name or password I would be very grateful - or (thinking aloud here) how can the user name be recorded before the login button is clicked and before the login process takes place? (Is there a before login event?)

I've been browsing the net and found this

It seems to do all I need, so it amy solve it for other users also.
