# Feature: #100278 - PSR-14 Event after failed logins in backend or frontend users {#feature-100278-1679604666}

See [forge#100278](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/100278)

## Description {#description}

A new PSR-14 event `\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Authentication\Event\LoginAttemptFailedEvent`
has been introduced. The event allows to notify remote systems about failed logins.

The event features the following methods:

-   `isFrontendAttempt()`: Whether this was a login attempt from a frontend login form
-   `isBackendAttempt()`: Whether this was a login attempt in the backend
-   `getUser()`: Returns the `\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Authentication\AbstractUserAuthentication` derivative in question
-   `getRequest()`: Returns the current PSR-7 request object
-   `getLoginData()`: The attempted login data without sensitive information

Registration of the event in your extension's `Services.yaml`:

**EXT:my_extension/Configuration/Services.yaml**

```yaml
MyVendor\MyExtension\Authentication\EventListener\MyEventListener:
    tags:
      - name: event.listener
        identifier: 'my-extension/login-attempt-failed'
```

The corresponding event listener class:

**EXT:my_extension/Classes/Authentication/EventListener/MyEventListener.php**

```php
namespace MyVendor\MyExtension\Authentication\EventListener;

use TYPO3\CMS\Core\Authentication\Event\LoginAttemptFailedEvent;

final class MyEventListener
{
    public function __invoke(LoginAttemptFailedEvent $event): void
    {
        if ($event->getRequest()->getAttribute('normalizedParams')->getRemoteAddress() !== '198.51.100.42') {
            // send an email because an external user login attempt failed
        }
    }
}
```

## Impact {#impact}

It is now possible to notify external loggers about failed login attempts
while having the full request.
