Apps Retrieve pass-code attempts

A

ample

Lurker
I am working on a app which notifies the phone owner when an incorrect passcode / gesture attempt is made (I know a number of these apps exist already). What I would like to do is also let the owner know what the incorrect passcode attempt was.

Is this information stored on or file on the device or is it possible to capture it in the authentication process?

Thanks for any advice / tips.

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to get back to me. I have been looking through that documentation for the last hour but cant see how I would use Device Admin Receiver to retrieve the actual password that was attempted. This is probably my fault as this is my first attempt a making a real app.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide a little more guidance.
 
It doesn't look like there's a facility for being informed of the actual password used in the login attempt. The best you can do is to be notified that a failed attempt has occurred.
