#1417 closed Enhancement (fixed)
tell user why login is prevented

Description
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?)
