If we detect multiple attempts within a 10 second window, we don't even let them know if they get it right...

For more info, look at validatePasswordFlood() in LogInOut.php.

These security parameters are not currently user controllable.

A GUI option for the administrator would be nice. Would it be possible to adjust them in the security settings of the board please?

Thank you.
