First, set your AUDIT_TRAIL parameter to "DB". That'll require a restart.
After that, do the following:
AUDIT SESSION WHENEVER NOT SUCCESSFUL;
The result will look like this:

Return code can be found, surprisingly enough, in the "RETURNCODE" column.
In this case, it is 1017, which stands for:
"ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied"
No need to use audit or any other types of vaults. Normal auditing options which are part of the database are all you need. Of course, you also need the Guide and a towel.
