Title: Logging into Bitcointalk Post by: Mayer Amschel on September 17, 2015, 11:03:12 AM Hello guys, Mayer here.
Just a suggestion i have and im sure many of you will agree; If we happen to not have our password saved for auto login, and accidentally make a typo in our password we have to wait 45 seconds. Maybe we can have like three chances to type in our password before automatically making us wait. Title: Re: Logging into Bitcointalk Post by: unamis76 on September 17, 2015, 11:05:30 AM This should be in Meta (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0)
The wait time is for bruteforcing protection, I think. If it lets you input a password 3 times in a row before waiting, it makes the hacker discover the password faster. It's also a better DoS protection. Title: Re: Logging into Bitcointalk Post by: everaja on September 17, 2015, 11:08:38 AM Hello guys, Mayer here.

Thats the waiting time to insure the security of Forum disallowing you to try maximum number of Permutation and combination. Anyways i don't think the time should be reduced lesser than 45 seconds.

Better captcha after third unsuccessful authorization... But some people trading on this forum so security should be on 1 position. :P Title: Re: Logging into Bitcointalk Post by: unamis76 on September 17, 2015, 02:04:08 PM But some people trading on this forum so security should be on 1 position. :P Exactly. And a hacked DT account could make quite a bit of damage... If you have issues with the password have it reset. And stake an address to your account in case something happens. |
