Staggered Logins
Staggered Logins is a form of lockout that Studentnet has implemented to minimize brute force attacks.
Staggered Logins occur when a user fails 3 login attempts. When staggered logins occur, the user will take up to 4-5 seconds to login instead of 1-2 seconds. If the user fails 6 login attempts, the user will take up to 9 seconds to login. Further failed login attempts will increase the user login time. At 12 failed login attempts, users will no longer be allowed any login attempts.

- Admins goes to the user and clears the staggered logins
Clearing Staggered Logins via Admin
