Reply To: Login Security Feature Request

The primary goal/purpose of Login Security is to stop Brute Force Login attacks.  ie not allowing an unlimited number of login attempts in order to be able to crack a password.  This would be automated by a hackerbot of course since human hackers don’t actually visit websites that they are attempting to hack – this is completely automated with bots.  A bot would be able to do 1,000′s of Login attempts in a few seconds if Login Security was not in place.

I actually do not understand what the intended benefit/purpose of adding an additional lockout period would be.  Since the hackerbot is stopped after X number of tries then why would you want to add an additional lockout period?  Am I missing something here?

If you are using BPS Pro JTC Anti-Spam / Anti-Hacker then hackerbots are stopped before then can attempt Brute Force Login attacks and spambots are stopped from automated spam registrations, logins and comment posting.
