   Hi all

   Has anyone come across a fix for bbPress inregards to brute force attacks on passwords?

   A brute force attack allows a user to attempt to login to the application with a valid user account using a dictionary of words for the password without the account being locked out.

   bbPress allows multipul attempts at password entry without locking the user out. This means that someone can use a application to hack into a users account.

   Has anyone made a fix/ plugin for this? Or know a way of solving this?

   Help/ thoughts would be greatly appreciated! :)
