t812g (t812g) asked a question.

How to get or display the number of failed authentication attempts or left on login

We are using Okta CIAM, and we are trying to find an sign in widget to retrieve a count for failed login attempts. If I type the erroneous password for the first time, it will indicate two attempts remaining, then one attempt remaining, and then the account will be locked. .

 

Is there such a property or code we can achieve.

    Hi @t812g (t812g)​ , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community! 

     

    This is not currently supported. There is an option to "Show lock out failures" to give the user some indication though. 

     

    You can suggest a Feature Enhancement for this use case on the Okta Community page by going to the Community Ideas tab.

High popularity will increase the likelihood of it being picked up by the Product Team and it being implemented.
