Override login denied error message in meteor-useraccounts

Question

I created a basic application for a telescope. When I enter the wrong password, the error message "Login barring" is displayed. I want to change the error message related to the action. Where and what code should be included to make changes?

Answer 1

Instead of replacing the Accounts.validateLoginAttempt function, I recommend meteor-accounts-t9n up the mapping through the meteor-accounts-t9n API (assuming you just want to replace the error message):

• Run meteor add softwarerero:accounts-t9n
• Add the following code:

---

 if (Meteor.isClient) { T9n.map('en', { error: { accounts: { 'Login forbidden': 'Credentials are incorrect!' } } }); } 

Answer 2

I assume that you are using the Meteor Accounts package, as you did not specify otherwise. You can override the Accounts.validateLoginAttempt ( docs ) function to throw a Meteor.Error . As written in the docs:

Verifying that the login is correct should return a valid value for the login. > If the callback returns a fake value or throws an exception, the login> is canceled. Throwing Meteor.Error will Meteor.Error user of the error.
