Not true. After 5 invalid attempts, the account is locked out for 15 minutes even for the valid passcode.

More wrong info from certain staff members...like in the now closed recent "delete my account" threads here, users were instructed to uncheck receive site admin emails to stop getting these notifications which does not work for account locked due to 5 invalid login attempts. I have had all of those email options unchecked on my account here for years and still get mailings on my account. vB 3.6.12...lovely piece of software to be still running on an official vB company forum in 2014.
