What logs to check
Here's a quick terminal script to pull out the failed tries:
grep 'failed to authenticate' /var/log/secure.log
For example, I have an attempt that happened a few days ago and part of it looks like this: Aug 16 20:45:54 Tyranena com.apple.SecurityServer: authinternal failed to authenticate user exiot. Aug 16 20:45:58 Tyranena com.apple.SecurityServer: authinternal failed to authenticate user read. Aug 16 20:46:07 Tyranena com.apple.SecurityServer: authinternal failed to authenticate user write.

What logs to check
Same problem with permissions as noted above, but a sudo fixes that. |
