#2324 [RFE] Implement rate limiting for non privileged clients
Closed: wontfix 4 years ago by pbrezina. Opened 9 years ago by simo.

When the authentication provider does not have its own rate limiting or does not lock accounts after failures we may open up guessing attack venues if we let password attempts to be performed unbounded.

A simple rate limiting implementation would simply store the last authentication attempt timestamp, and sleep and wait if it is "too soon".
If we wanted to allow "burst", but block prolonged guessing attacks, we'd just store some more values and block when N auths happen within M seconds.
