Public bug reported:


After entering five incorrect passwords, the account is reportedly blocked for five minutes.
In fact, after five minutes, the account is still blocked.


I found two solutions

1.Change variable MAXLOGINTRIES; from 5 to (for example) 10 in htdocs/auth/user.php
define('MAXLOGINTRIES', 10);

2.Change variable LOGINTRIES in database; from 5 to 0.

But apparently it should not work this way.
Can I change or add something in user.php or somewhere else?
