There were later comments in this thread that disagreed with the extra
logging infrastructure, and there were some questions about whether it
should only log on failed authentication attempts. Altogether, still
some open questions about behavior and implementation approach. So I'm
marking this as returned with feedback for now.
Personally, I think this could be a useful feature, but it needs more
fine-tuning.
