  • Account Lockout After 5 attempts

    From August Abolins@2:221/360 to All on Thu Sep 24 19:19:57 2020
    Here's another thing that I think is ill-conceived:

    "Account Lockout After 5 attempts to login with invalid credentials,
    the ipage account will be temporarily locked for 30 minutes"

    Should somene just happen to guess my username and purposely goofs
    around with the wrong password, my legitimate use of the account is
    locked for 30 minutes. That's like industrial espionage.
