// Brute-force protection for the login (FLAW-09). Failed attempts are counted in memory in three
// buckets; when one is full, logins for it are refused with 429 for the lock time:
//   account + IP   3 failures   the attacker's address is locked out of this account, the real owner
//                               logging in from elsewhere is not
//   account       20 failures   stops attacks spread over many addresses
//   IP            30 failures   stops one address trying many accounts
// A bucket counts failures within the lock window and starts over afterwards. A successful login
// clears the account buckets; a password reset clears the account completely. LOGIN_PROTECTION=false
// switches all of it off. Counters are lost on restart, which is fine for this purpose.
