There are 2 different configurations for brute force detection; permanent lockout and temporary lockout. Permanent lockout will disable a user's account after an attack is detected; the account will be disabled until an administrator renables it. Temporary lockout will disable a user's account for a time period after an attack is detected; the time period for which the account is disabled increases the longer the attack continues.
NOTE: When user is temporarily locked and attempt to login, the default error message `Invalid username or password` is shown.
This is the same error message as the message displayed when invalid username or invalid password is provided. This is by design as
we do not want to reveal to the attacker that user is temporarily disabled.
