[ineedsubstance]

This is the view for when a failed login happens, and the alert message that will be displayed.

Feature: Failed Login View
  As a Content Creator,
  I want to be alerted when my attempt to log in fails
  So that I am able to understand and fix the issue.

  Scenario: Display alert message
    Given I am trying to log into the CMS
     When I go to enter my email and password
       And what I enter is incorrect
     Then I will receive an alert message explaining the issue

  Scenario: Receive instructions
    Given I am trying to log into the CMS
     When I go to enter my email and password
       And what I enter is incorrect

@scottnath + @Snugug:

I explored the documentation for passportjs to see what was possible when it comes to messaging. I wanted to post those findings first before I moved forward to make sure I was heading down the right path.

Passport uses flash messages to display status information to the user. In our case, we want to display a failed message when the user tries to log in and the information is incorrect. In order to make this work, we need to call this feature by using failureFlash: true and then set the specific message like this passport.authenticate('local', { failureFlash: 'Invalid username or password.' });. This would also require using the connect-flash middleware plugin to provide that functionality.

Alternatively, I found someone that seemed to be using a different approach here. I quickly tried to implement this but was not successful.

Before I continue down a path, I wanted to check in with you guys to see what you thought.

[Snugug]

This seems like the right path, but see if you can avoid flash. We removed it from our stack as we found it less flexible than using session directly
