Hi!

Thank you for your response! I really appreciate it.

That's bad :( 
I'm facing the situation that the database is counting the login attempts and blocks the account, when an invalid password is provided three times. 
How would I deal with the fact, that I don't know how often the Authenticator.authenticate() method is called?
Does this mean, that I can't use the build-in identity component?

Could you explain, why the method could be called multiple times within the same request-response-cycle? I thought, if the action method returns "false" then a simple re-rendering of the page is performed. 

Regarding the exceptions, I do have a try/catch(Exception e) in my dbAccess.authenticate() method - nothing is captured there...

Best Regards, Kurt
