Summary0009645: Lock account on password auth failure
DescriptionWe can't lock an account if password authentication fails, because the client username is public and guessable, which would allow anyone to lock any account, constituting a denial-of-service attack.
We have therefore chosen to lock the account if 2FA authentication fails, meaning that only accounts with 2FA are protected.
We could use a separate login ID, as some banks do. This ID would be randomly generated and can be rotated when leaked or attacked.
