Whenever there is a failed login attempt, the attempt is logged to this table. The table is used to (1) detect malicious users who try to attack the system with bruteforce login attack and (2) prevent such users from attacking the system in such manner.
- /account/login/ logs whenever there is a failed login attempt - /account/login/ checks whether there are more than five failed login attempts based on the ip address of user. If there are, it sets the flag for showing recaptcha to true
- *_RECAPTCHA_SITEKEY has been added to make it possible for developer to test Recaptcha on their own test environment - Signup form uses 'Invisible' Recaptcha while login form requires 'Normal' Recaptcha. Configurations for both Recaptcha API keys has been applied to Django settings.
