This little tool keeps you updated about failed login attempts on your site! When you're plagued by folks trying to hack your site, or want to help people failing to login to your site, this is the plugin you need!
As far as I noticed, for every failed login attempt a notification is sent out - and that fact is also maybe the one thing where I could think of a small improvement: Maybe after a few notifications from the same IP/login the administrator already knows that something is going on, and is doing something to prevent the attack from continuing; so the plugin in my eyes should stop sending out notifications after a few attempts (or the administrator will have to possibly handle hundreds of notifications in his inbox after the attack).
Apart from that, really a cool extension, and the up-side of getting notifications for all login attempts is that you get a full log for every failed attempt (including the clear-text password, IP-Address, the error message, the exact time, and whether the attempt occured in Frontend or in Backend)!

Having lots of failed login attempts and wanting to know more about these I searched high and low for an extension like this.
Easy to install and works exactly as expected - just not with CB login module, but hopefully in a future version..;-)
And now it is even possible to choose either front end, back end or both!

This is great, thank you. I am looking for the one that sends me an email when the the visitor or the user fails to log in to their front end account. I am not talking about the administrator page. You know some websites have a account page where the user can make a account. Do you know any links that I can find it?
Thank you again and keep up the good work.

Very useful and the version at the time of this writing adds the ability to send the report to any email or Super Admin.
It was also easy to hack for reporting failed logons to both the front end and admin url. The option to report on either or both login types might be useful in future versions.
