When you put in an incorrect user id and/or password , do companies/websites keep a record of that?
Like for example Joe1 had an incorrect login attempt at this time?
And if so how long do they keep record of that.

This is company dependent, normal security protocols would be 'yes', time could be unlimited it's just a log file. Mine has never been stopped or archived for years. I see what username they attempted with, ip address, the timestamp and the password they tried to use. This is a very basic log. Others are more intricate.
