## Description

Write all login attempts where both username and password are supplied to a log 
file. The logfile is relative
 to error.log and is called ‘login.log’, the format:“
TIMESTAMP USERNAME SUCCESS/FAILURE”.

In practice this plugin is a rewritten version of the wp_authenticate_username_password
function from user.php and replaces
 it in the login process.

## Installation

 1. Upload `wp-login-logging.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/wp-login-logging` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Enjoy!

## FAQ

### Where is the logfile located?

The plugin looks for error.log and places the logfile in the same directory

### What about other wp_authenticate_username_password functionality?

The other functionality stays the same.
