Configuring the Notification of Failed Logon Attempts

Context

There is an option to enable notification of failed logon attempts before the user's successful logon (that is, between two successful authentications). For example, this could alert a user to a hacker's attempts to guess his or her password. Or, if the user has misspelled his or her password, he or she will see the message about failed logon attempts the next time he or she successfully logs on.

By default, this option is turned off.
