Watchmac Help

  Watchmac Icon   Monitoring other authentication failures
 

Watchmac can monitor when someone tries to authenticate using your username but fails to enter the correct password.

To record when someone enters a wrong password for your username in general do the following:

  • Open Watchmac preferences.
  • Select the Infringements tab.
  • Check Authentication Failure.
You should also make sure Watchmac is turned on:
  • Open the Status pane.
  • If Watchmac is turned off, click Turn On.
At this time authentication failures can be monitored on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard only.
