12string Posted March 18 Share #1 Posted March 18 Coincidence? I just got a notice that my credit card account is locked - too many login attempts. The hack did seem to list some places where some of us live.

MickinMD ★ Posted March 20 Share #15 Posted March 20 I had a lockout because of too many login attempts, 3 I think - I forgot I had changed the password - to Broadridge, the company that administers the General Mills Dividend ReInvestment Plan I'm in where I automatically buy $50/month in fractional shares at no fee and check about once a month for the new share total or how many shares my reinvested dividends got. I called them and the phone receptionist took my off lockout and walked me through doing a new password and logging-in. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Silly Posted March 20 Share #16 Posted March 20 3 login attempts is traditional but far too low. They could set failed attempt to 100 and it would be just as effective to thwart a brute force attack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After attempt 1 attempt 2 attempt 3 Then I have a root password, in which I have variations of it w/ symbols & such. Sometimes I forget which variant I use. I always get worried when 2 attempts don't work, but then I stop & think why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
