Description

Users need to be aware of activity that occurs regarding their application account. Providing users with information regarding the number of unsuccessful attempts made to login to their account allows the user to determine if any unauthorized activity has occurred and gives them an opportunity to notify administrators. This requirement is intended to cover traditional logons to information systems where a user interface is involved.
