> If there is a malicious attacker who is brute-forcing passwords / usernames,
> we should just ban such user for some time. On the other hand, we should
> enable logging in for genuine users who just happened to provide invalid
> passwords for multiple times, we do not want to ban these completely.
> A rate limit might be something like "5 times per a minute".
> This should be based on IP address of a client to identify the attacker. If
> we based this on invalid passwords only, an attacker might just change the
> usernames to bypass that.
