Earlier today I attempted to log in to my Blender-Artists account and although I’m a good 90% sure I typed my password correctly I received a message stating that my username and/or password was incorrect and that I had reached the maximum amount of failed login attempts, I was instructed to wait 15 minutes after which I was able to log in. However; just out of curiosity I just checked and purposely mistyped my password to which I found the maximum number of failed logins is 5. Why would it be that I would have reached the maximum amount of failed logins after only one attempt earlier today?
Was this recently changed, were there issues with BA earlier or perhaps someone else had been trying to login to my account?
