    What does each step mean?

    1. Sign-in page is the entry. Enter email and password is the form.
    2. Credentials match? is the decision. Do not draw two arrows out of the form itself.
    3. The Yes path opens the home page. The No path shows the error. The error text should not reveal which field was wrong if that is your policy.
    4. Count the attempt sits on both paths so a lockout rule has a place to live.
