    Default Limited password attempts

    Ive heard of instances that someone can hack you, and all the hacker would need is your email!

    Reason they can do this is because of some sort of automatic password-guessing-bot?

    My suggestion that the number of fail password attempts is limited to a maximum of 5-10 or so.

    This will prevent hackers from doin they're thang.

    Thank-yaaaaalll for listenin

    3 failed attempts result in a 15-minute time out period. I got this info from a dev (don' ask me how lol)
