Display Remaining Login Attempts After Failed Authentication

Feature Request

It would be beneficial if TSplus could display a warning message after each failed login attempt, informing the user how many login attempts remain before they are temporarily blocked by Brute Force Defender.

For example, after the first failed attempt:

Warning: Login unsuccessful. You have 9 login attempts remaining before you are temporarily blocked. Please check your username and password before trying again.

Ideally, the remaining attempt count would update dynamically based on the configured Brute Force Defender threshold, rather than being hard-coded. It would also be useful if administrators could optionally include a link to documentation or a custom help page explaining the organisation's login policy.

Benefits

• Reduces users unintentionally triggering Brute Force Defender.

• Decreases avoidable support requests caused by temporary account blocks.

• Makes users aware that repeated failed attempts have consequences.

• Improves the overall login experience by providing clear feedback instead of only reporting that authentication failed.

Many users assume they can continue trying different passwords indefinitely. By the time they realise they have been blocked, they contact IT for assistance, even though the lockout could have been avoided with a simple warning indicating the number of remaining attempts.
