Accidentally typed password in username input, any logs to clear?
I have accidentally typed my password in SSH's interactive username prompt. Are there any log files that I should clear?
Solution 1:
/var/log/auth.log
Search for "Invalid user"
Solution 2:
/var/log/btmp contains, in binary form, a log of the details of failed login attempts.
last -f /var/log/btmp will show you the contents of that file, which will likely include your mistake.
