  • &$retVal: a LoginForm class constant to return from authenticateUserData (default is LoginForm::ABORTED)
  • &$msg: name of the error message displayed to the user (introduced in 1.18)

Notes[edit]

  • Can be used to allow an extension (for example, a captcha) to abort the login process
  • For &$retVal, note that client may be using a machine API rather than the HTML user interface.
