Linux How do I display failed login attempt?

/var/log/faillog is a log file for failed login attempts. This file maintains a count of login failures and the limits for each account. The file is fixed length record, indexed by numerical ID. Each record contains the count of login failures since the last successful login; the maximum number of failures before the account is disabled; the line the last login failure occurred on; and the date the last login failure occurred. Since data is in binary format you need to use faillog command to display failed login attempt.
