 * Hi There!
 * I know there is a way to view a selection of attempted unsucessful logins, but
   is there a way to view a larger list and most importantly the REASON they were
   unsuccessful?
 * Right now it says:
 * username ip timestamp
    username ip timestamp
 * I would love:
 * Username ip timestamp “wrong Password”
    Username ip timestamp “on breach list”
   Username ip timestamp “not a user”
 * I cant find anything on free or pro that does this, but I used to get emails 
   for each one with that information, so I know that it is possible. Is this somewhere
   I just havent seen?
    TIA

 * Hello [@kndh13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kndh13/) and thanks for reaching
   out!
 * Currently, there are these messages in **Tools > Live Traffic**.
    Failed login
   attempt with correct username message: `attempted a failed login as "username"`
 * Failed login attempt with invalid username message when the option **Immediately
   lock out invalid usernames is enabled**:
    `attempted a failed login using an 
   invalid username "username"`
 * The entries above can be viewed with the **Logins and Logouts** basic filter.
   
   Attempted login message for a username entered in the option **Immediately block
   the IP of users who try to sign in as these usernames**: `was blocked by login
   security setting` The entry for this can be viewed with the **Blocked** basic
   filter.
 * Let me know if this helps!
 * Thanks!

 * Awesome, thank you! I was looking in the dashboard and firewall and not seeing
   the rest.
