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. Any further failed login attempts will increase the user login time.

Staggered Logins can be cleared for users by one of 2 ways

  • User waits 15 minutes without attempting to login
