Account Lockout Mechanism Fix #9

Closed phantom0004 closed 7 months ago

phantom0004 commented 7 months ago

Proposed changes to enhance application security:

Persistent Account Lockout: Implement an account lockout mechanism that remains across form navigations and survives application restarts. This is crucial for protecting against brute force attacks by ensuring that account lockout states are not reset by navigating between forms or restarting the application.

These changes aim to strengthen our security posture significantly.

A patch for the above bug has been implemented, however if the application is closed and re-opened the state is not maintained. This is to be fixed at a later stage.
