Original ticket http://trac.elgg.org/ticket/1417 on 39972269-12-02 by cash, assigned to cash.

Elgg version: 1.6

login can fail because

  • wrong password/username
  • too many login failures
  • user is banned
  • user has not validated account

Right now there is a single error message which doesn't help the user that much or the administrator.

This will require the login() function to pass back more than just true/false or some other mechanism for passing failures (exceptions caught by the login action handler?)
