JJkizak Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Why can't secure websites put 10 second delays on password accounts to prevent password hackers from using hacking software programs to hack passwords from your accounts? JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJkizak Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 I have had the pleasure of being hacked at Equifax and Anthem. Equifax said my 10 digit number to free the freeze on the credit cards was not hacked. Gee that makes me feel good. Yuk. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowenac Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 That wouldn't solve anything... Software could be altered for the delay. They should however enforce login attempt limits, strong passwords, ReCaptcha, and never store passwords in plain text. Just my 2 cents as a Web Developer.

Well I was thinking if it takes 100 years to bust the password instead of 100 minutes that would be significant. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
