Incomplete question. There isn't sufficient detail in your question to properly answer it without making a bunch of assumptions.

An "app"? What kind of app? Website? WebAPI? Windows Forms? WPF? Windows Service?

After reading OG's mention of this being tagged WiFi, I'm beginning to wonder if what we assumed to be "app" was meant as "A/P for Access Point

Each time someone tried to log in, you record the UserID, outcome (OK / Reject), and a timestamp (and maybe where the login attempt was from, if that is relevant) in a DB. You probably shouldn't store the password they used (or even the hash of teh password) for the same security reasons that you don't store passwords in plain text or encrypted!

Exactly how you determine "who did it" is pretty much impossible to answer: you mention "WiFi" as your tag, but that just at best gives you an IP address on a LAN segment, which is pretty much useless unless your WiFi router keeps logs of when any IP address was used and by what equipment - and most don't. IP addresses are "recycled" when they are disconnected, and there is absolutely no guarantee that the same device is using the same IP each time!

Then when you want to know who tried, you have the info at your fingertips.

Under the assumption that you are referring to an Access Point (aka WiFi, wireless router), the answer to your question as a whole is generally going to be No.

You may be able to access the connection logs on the router itself and download those and parse them out; the method is going to vary on the firmware that is being used. If you are using DD-WRT a module could possibly be created to ease this for you.
But all this is really going to net you if anything is the devices themselves.

In an overly simplified generalization, the "password" is actually used as an encryption key; and authentication is based on the ability to decrypt the traffic that is generated during the authentication process.
The authentication processes being used do vary; WEP and WPA(x) work differently, so you may want to read the Wikipedia articles on them to see how the keys are used.
