Title: Failed logins
Post by: emanuele on April 24th, 2013, 01:50 PM
This morning I tried to login but not remembering the password I tried the usual 2 or 3 (or 4 :P) and at some point the reminder popped up.
I didn't want to change the password (otherwise I'd have to repeat the logins on all the browser and computers I have around and that would be a pita :angel: ), so I tried another time and got the message: "Sorry, but you've reached your login attempts threshold. Please wait 30 seconds and try again later.".
No problem, I decided to wait a bit. Now I switched on the "other" computer with all the passwords and found the one I use here so I tried again...but I'm still getting the same error: "Sorry, but you've reached your login attempts threshold. Please wait 30 seconds and try again later.".
Just to verify the password was up to date, I changed a setting in my profile and the password is correct.
Tried another browser just in case it was an issue with some cookie, but same result.

It may be a false positive, though I think it's worth reporting. ;)

Just to let me drop Opera 11 on windows, would you mind delete from the log table the entries that prevent me from logging? :angel:

I don't like opera for Windows, too slow (as a user) can become handy for users to temper your backend security settings (as a webmaster) especially if you are depending on java script for security.

Opera 11 for Opera 12! (I have a somehow messy install on windows with multiple copies running in parallel, etc...)
I would never drop Opera! :D

Compare Opera with firefox and chrome and tell how it feels! Opera works to slow for me, I only use it in any website that is giving me java security headache.

This is the second time we've heard this and yet I can't reproduce it... it's not like we've changed anything related as far as I can remember...

Though I seem to recall there was a patch in 2.0.x for something along these lines and we did the same thing as SMF did...
