      Generate bad login attempts by entering wrong password/username Login as admin go to Site administration->Reports->Logs Change "All activities" to "Site errors" and click on "Get these logs" Failed logins should have meaningful  description, not only error ID

      When reviewing the site logs, the description for the "User login failed" event is "Login failed for the username 'bob' for the reason with id '3'."

      "Reason id '3'" doesn't mean anything to an administrator viewing the logs. To find out what '3' refers to requires looking at lib/authlib.php and deciphering the constants.

      The event description should instead show a proper description of the error, eg "Login failed for the username 'bob' with status:

      {user doesn't exist | user is suspended | ...}

      " etc
