Hi Jay, 

Auto notification for failed logins is an Idea today

However, you can handle login errors based on Salesforce's recommendations for handling and troubleshooting failed logins (In the try, catch you can add messaging.singleEmailMessage to send emails). You can find more information in the article below

try { // Using binding already set up, log in LoginResult = binding.login(username, password); // Process successful LoginResult ... } catch (LoginFault loginFault) { ExceptionCode exCode = loginFault.getExceptionCode(); if (exCode == ExceptionCode.PASSWORD_LOCKOUT) { // User login has exceeded number of failed password attempts // Provide details to user or log String errMsg = loginFault.getMessage(); ... // Exit and do not re-attempt to login with this user ... } if (exCode == ExceptionCode.INVALID_LOGIN) { // Invalid password or credentials // Provide details to user or log String errMsg = loginFault.getMessage(); ... // Have user provide correct credentials and re-attempt login ... } // Process other possible errors ... }

Let me know if this helps by marking this as solved so that it can help others in future. Thank You!
