Add Login To HVM Config Options

Yes. I've talking about it over at vb.com also.

Starts off with your members starting to receive the auto emails from the VB software warning them of 5 strike attempts. The 1st few I thought nothing of and just reminded the members about choosing a good strong password for their account. But the numbers increased and increased stressing the members and me out at which point I was alerted to the problem. Then I saw that post over at vb.com and totally related to it.

I did for the 1st few times when I saw member IPs wonder whether they might have virus/malware on their PCs so asked them to check but then the numbers got so high it wasn't feasible anymore unless all their PCs were infected.

Thinking further on this I wonder if there are any other login systems that can be used with VB4.2.2 ? I'm sure I remember Ubuntu use a different login system on their VB forum?

Getting the mails from members asking to delete their accounts as they've received a warning from the VB strikes system due to hackers trying to guess their passwords. The waves of hacking attempts still persist. Feel like a bit of a sitting duck.

I had an idea after reading your post this morning. I think I can add HV to the "You have entered an invalid username or password." error screen, so that users will get one try before that appears. That solves the problem of what to do if they're logging in from the navbar and don't have a chance to do the HV thing. Hopefully I'll have it working some time today.

Did you have a chance to try the version I sent?

If anyone else is interested in this mod and wants to test an early version, send me a PM.
