SSC Failed PW Lockout

[»LtNirvana]

How long does the failed password lockout last. I didn't even enter an incorrect password.

 

I was creating aliases (a lot of them fairly quickly) and it's locked me out (seemingly by IP) and I can't log into ANY frickin aliases now. IT SAYS TRY BACK IN SEVERAL HOURS!!! What the fuck? Why does it lock out for several hours thats ridiculous. It doesn't even give a time.

 

Is that not the most assanine lockout system ever?

 

I'm a zone sysop I can't be bothered with such BS

3 hours if i remember correctly

Dunno, happened to me before only took a few minutes and it let me log back in.

It's not a limit on failed attempts, it's a limit on login count per IP... pretty sure.

Even if you log in with the same username several times in a row, I think you can get locked out.

Either that, or they limit wrong passwords + new users, to avoid someone making hundreds of aliases and pointlessly filling the db I guess.

I think its based on failed PW attempts per IP, presumably to prevent brute forcing cracking PWs and flooding the server

Did you read the OP?

When you create a new name, it actually registers as a failed password attempt I think. I think (if i recall correctly) in the protocol it sends back a failed password response but also tells the client it can attempt to create a new name using that name and to try again.

Change your IP, log in with a proxy or something.
