Depends on how you have customized the login. If you want to create a completely custom form and workflow, you can use auth.login_bare() to do the login -- it returns False if the login fails. If you want to use auth.login(), upon login failure, it automatically redirects back to the login page and displays a flash message. You can customize the flash message via auth.messages.invalid_login.
