@Sumafu That account suspension is a security problem in itself because it allows an indirect DOS attack on said account.
-
@Sumafu well, "blaming other for mistakes" is a style of ranting...
-
@Fast-Nop oooh, great idea indeed
-
@Fast-Nop It's an effective way of reducing brute force attempts, resetting your password SHOULD re-enable your account.
-
@ThisIsOra It's completely ineffective because a proper password is not brute-forceable, and an enforced password change every few minutes because someone does a brute force attack is only annoying for the user without giving any security benefit.
On top of that, large scale hacks these days (actually, already years ago) don't work by hammering the same account with throusands of passwords. They work by trying the same password on thousands of accounts.
Microsoft Market:
"You tried a wrong password too many times"
(I know fucker, I made a fucking mistake because I had to restart the pc 20 fucking times already, I've got confused, you pc-fucker)
"The activity is temporarily suspended, try later"
LATER? WHEN? I need to work you moron. Just give me a number!!! 10 minutes? 10 hours? days?
Work on improving security, lazy sod, not on slowing my job.
PS As soon as I can I'll change the password in "ImpotentCrackWhoreFucker8==0-)"
