Overview

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.
