Description

I sometimes have to log in twice for the BE (TYPO3 6.2.6).
I the actual case, the reason seems to have been that I hadn't converted BE Passwords to salted hashes yet.

This ticket is about the warning mail that is sent when it happens:
I fail to log in once and get this e-mail:

There have been some attempts (4) to login at the TYPO3
site "TYPO3" (projectname).

This is a dump of the failures:

19-11-14 20:22:  Login-attempt from 127.0.0.1 (), username 'user1', password not accepted!
19-11-14 20:22:  Login-attempt from 127.0.0.1 (), username 'user1', password not accepted!
19-11-14 20:22:  Login-attempt from 127.0.0.1 (), username 'user1', password not accepted!
19-11-14 20:22:  Login-attempt from 127.0.0.1 (), username 'user1', password not accepted!

always 4 attempts.

I've also had this for productive client projects and misinterpreted that they had been trying 4x.
Is this an error in the email or does the login form try to connect four times?

This is a known issue which can be solved by setting the $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['BE']: [BE][cookieName] in the Install Tool. Otherwise the cookie of another subdomain of your domain might lead to problems. Remove the BE cookies set by TYPO3.
The warning mail cannot be turned off, because you wanted TYPO3 to send you an email in the case when a user fails to login.

Does Franz' suggestion solve your problem, Urs?

I tried setting [BE][cookieName] without luck, so I decided to simply ignore the wording of the email.

Still, the 4-fold error message could be confusing for less experienced site maintainers.
The email used to give me the feeling that my clients were desperately trying to log in and even contacted them (to help), which made some of them feel observed.

This is a known issue

Is there an existing ticket on forge?

It's not about turning it off
