  • Account Lockout After 5 attempts

    From August Abolins@2:221/360 to All on Thursday, September 24, 2020 19:19:57
    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.
