Repeated login failure protection issue ?

#1 » Post by Louis Wu » 06 Sep 2015 17:14

Maybe a small issue with the auto-ban on repeated login failures:
I made a login attempt, but at some point I hit the <TAB> button instead of the <a> character, and hit <ENTER> (yes, I have an azerty keyboard)
As a result, I tried to log in as user 'n' with screwed up password.
And suddenly all my accounts got banned.
When looking at my account on the web site, it said I (=my IP address) was auto-banned for some (10 ?) minutes due to repeated login failures.
Strange, as I made the mistake only once, and every character had a zero login failure rate.

So, my guess is there is something wrong with the auto-ban script.
And it comes quite as a surprise to see you're banned... unless you know what has happened :)

The failed login counter only resets on the first successful login, so it will eventually ban you on the first mistake until you successfully log your account.

I guess this has been fixed since the player has been active after this topic was made. If you still experience any issues regarding this let us know.

Locking and moving this for now.
