Title: This is a flashback to the days of the dial up BBS's but hear me out ...
Post by: dante on Wed, 10 December 2014, 11:54:55

Recently I've been noticing when I login that I immediately get a "You must wait 2 seconds to enter your password" as if I had tried type my password in incorrectly even though I know for sure this was the first time.  So this leads me to believe that someone might be trying to password hack my account.

In the old days when you logged into a dial up BBS you would get a log of the last few times you logged in - is there anyway to see this implemented to get an idea if someone is trying to password hack an account?  Maybe an option on the Profile page?

May be related to this (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=66640.0), although I haven't experienced any password issues.
