MONITOR FAILED LOGINS WITH JAVA LANGUAGE

Monitor failed logins in your Java application

In most Java applications, user authentication is a fundamental requirement to control access, safeguard security, and prevent issues like API misuse. Authentication methods can vary, with common approaches including basic authentication, social logins (e.g., Google, Facebook), and more.

Irrespective of the chosen authentication method, dealing with failed login attempts is a frequent concern. Failures can result from incorrect credentials or other factors like login attempts by unauthorized users trying to breach the system. In such scenarios, it is essential to monitor and respond appropriately to failed login attempts. For instance, identifying users repeatedly struggling to log in may prompt us to offer assistance, while cases of brute-force attacks may require immediate actions such as IP address blocking, notifying the targeted user, and more.

Enter Palzin Track, our solution for effective monitoring and issue tracking. Palzin Track is a robust, real-time event tracking tool seamlessly integrated with Java. Setting up real-time event tracking for critical application aspects is made straightforward. Additionally, we offer advanced features for taking event tracking to the next level, including user journey creation, analytics, insights, and more.
