    Yes, I want to show to users a message when they do failed logins. Informs users about remaining retries or lockout time on login page.

    Jenny,

    Thanks for the clarification. We currently do not have the ability to display to the user how many times they have incorrectly logged in. The default lockout threshold is 20 incorrect attempts over the time period that is set. The lockout settings are there to keep automated attackers from gaining access. With the standard settings, a human who gets locked out probably does not know their password or is trying to gain authorized access.

    Here’s some more info from the documentation on locking users out.

    Thanks,
