No. That's impossible in general because most of them end up back on the login page waiting for another attempt. Auditing is at the request/response level of the overall profile attempt. Failed logins are a diagnostic logging use case. Failed authentication overall in the cases that a flow actually terminates in some way are audited with various event signals and/or SAML status results.

Failed logins are also tracked numerically with metrics via counters.
