Gotcha.
... A separate, unique, private log-in ID is required.
Besides, as Ian Green points out, locking out an account for repeated invalid login attempts can have some very bad unintended consequences:
I haven't received Ian's email and I don't see it in the list.
It was "Cracking the Turing number" from 15-September. Ancient history I know -- I just love doing open-ended email searches such as "lock and Pecunix." :-)
I said the same thing as Ian, earlier. But if the log-in ID is private,
nobody can disrupt a business since he doesn't know the private ID of that
business.
Precisely.
