You exceeded the maximum allowed number of login attempts?
Not sure if this is something I should report or not, to be honest, but in case it is an error or an unlawful attempt at accessing the site.. Quote: You exceeded the maximum allowed number of login attempts. In addition to your username and password you now also have to solve the CAPTCHA below. Got this when I logged in today. Haven't tried logging in earlier.

I got this while logging in both Vera and Kanoe as well.

Re: You exceeded the maximum allowed number of login attempt
Or both, maybe? I think I have heard of bots searching for accounts with easy passwords,then sending PMs with links to various sites etc. But maybe that is an urban legend.
Otherwise I can't think of any reason for someone to try to hack this site. Unless it is someone trying to stir up stuff. Which on the internet is entirely possible, I suppose. I think I will do an extra virus run on my computer, just in case it is something on my end.

Re: You exceeded the maximum allowed number of login attempt
I would also consider changing my passwords as well, make them stronger or more tougher to figure out. It might be, well, very basic, but there's nothing like taking every precaution.

Re: You exceeded the maximum allowed number of login attempt
Yeah, I'll have to suggest everyone change their passwords.

Re: You exceeded the maximum allowed number of login attempt
My password should be pretty strong, but changed nonetheless.
I haven't had any trouble logging in on my last attempts, BTW.
I am kind of curious if it is only me and Kanoe though.

Re: You exceeded the maximum allowed number of login attempt
Well, just to be on the safe side, made the announcement.

Re: You exceeded the maximum allowed number of login attempt
Pia - it was not just you and Kanoe. I saw this with Aurora as well.
Interestingly - I did not have this issue with my monster account. And I would not call one password any more difficult to crack than the other, as there was just a minor transposition of characters between them.
I've changed them both anyway of course.

Re: You exceeded the maximum allowed number of login attempt
I haven't had this problem yet with any of my accounts, but I will change the passwords anyway just to be on the safe side.
Thanks for the heads up.

Re: You exceeded the maximum allowed number of login attempt
I just had this happen for this account. I had no problems with my other account, though.

Re: You exceeded the maximum allowed number of login attempt
Me too Just be sure to use a strong password and it's no more than a minor irritant.

Re: You exceeded the maximum allowed number of login attempt
Ya I gotten this on Dawn for awhile now. I did change my PW but who would be doing it?
Isn't there a way to stop this? it's kind of...annoying.

Re: You exceeded the maximum allowed number of login attempt
Well think about it... how can you be sure that the person trying to log in is not the person who is 'supposed' to be logging in until after they have logged in?
Of course I could set the board so that the imposter got unlimited attempts to break your password and then you wouldn't have to do the verification but does that really sound like a good idea?
