login attemps

you could possibly set a session variable and have also a hit counter for their account using a cookie and place to 0 on initial first login... then as they try again you +1 then after 3 attempts mail you the information of the username /password trying to login

I will look into the cflog. Thank

Sorry.
The login is a user login page on our site which uses coldfusion. This will allow access to certain webpages based on user security rights.
Users are authenticated by a sql database.

How do you manage logins and validate users? Does your site use a database? If so, you could store login infomation in a table there.

What type of login?
Login to the web server?
Login in controled by the web server?
Login to ColdFusion administrator?
Login in logic built into a ColdFusion application?
Something else
