Problem/Motivation

Currently, enabling the "notice_attempts_available" option, only applies for the final login set by "user_wrong_count".

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

We should discuss on how to define this option when using "host_wrong_count" and "host_wrong_count_hard" and how this should be handled, when multiple login limits on both user and host are set.

Also we need to show the message for every incorrect login.

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

API changes

Data model changes

Have you set "Maximum number of login failures before blocking a user" to non-zero?

Thanks @Grevil, so let's make this a bug report.

Still this feature is not very important and you typically don't want to use this, to not inform the "potential bad guy" ;)
This is why I've marked this minor. Happy to see MR's here fixing this.

Update, this DOES kinda work, but only for the final login.

Furthermore, the message for the final login is broken:

You have used 2 out of 2 login attempts. After all 2 have been used, you will be unable to login.

We might actually remove this feature entirely... What do you think about this @Anybody?

@Grevil no I don't think we should remove that. Might be helpful for SOME people. But the maintainers won't work on this issue as it's not very relevant. But happy to review MR's!
