Failed

accounts.failed is triggered when:

• A user unsuccessfully tries to authenticate an account via Argyle Link.
• There is a repeated unsuccessful re-authentication attempt via Argyle Link, for example, due to mistyped updated credentials.
• The MFA times out.

accounts.failed is not triggered if the account authentication expires or the credentials are changed. It only triggers when there is an unsuccessful authentication attempt.

When a user submits incorrect authentication details, the accounts.failed webhook is triggered. The details can include username and password and various types of multi factor authentication challenges. An unsuccessful attempt still creates an account object, in a failed auth state. Such accounts can be removed with a DELETE call to our API if not needed.
