+Authentication Events
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When a provider authenticates the user, a ``security.authentication.success``
+event is dispatched.  Likewise, when no providers authenticate the user,
+a ``security.authentication.failure`` event is dispatched.  You
+could listen on the ``security.authentication.failure`` event, for example,
+in order to log failed login attempts.
+
+It is important to remember that one authentication event is always triggered
+when a request points to a secured area.
+
+Security Events
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``security.interactive_login`` event is triggered after a user has actively
+logged into your website.  It is important to distinguish this action from
+non-interactive authentication methods, such as:
+
+* authentication based on a "remember me" cookie.
+* authentication based on your session.
+* authentication using a HTTP basic or HTTP digest header.
+
+You could listen on the ``security.interactive_login`` event, for example, in
+order to give your user a welcome flash message every time they log in.
+
+The ``security.switch_user`` event is triggered every time you activate
+the ``switch_user`` firewall listener.
