Hi All,

My login form below. When a user tries to login more than twice in a very short time the following errors is displayed.

Exception: Please wait at least 5 seconds before attempting another login. processwire

I have read a post which states you can capture that error message display it to the user using, but I'm not sure exactly how to use this. Would someone be so kind and offer assistance. 

try {
// Login
} catch (WireException $e) {
// Print out message of exception
echo $e->getMessage();
}

<?php
$login_errors = "";
$out = "";
$form = "<form class='omb_loginForm' action='./' accept-charset='UTF-8' autocomplete='off' method='POST'>
                        
            <div class='input-group'>

Hi ankh2054!

You can use it like this:

try {
   if($session->login($user, $pass)) {
      $session->redirect("/");
   } else {
      $login_errors = "Username or Password is incorrect";
   }
} catch (Exception $e) {
   $login_errors = $e->getMessage();
}

thanks you very much  

I have updated my code in the original post just incase anyone needs to do the same.
