Security?
Another 'bigpond is a joke' little tip bit.
If you attempt to log into www.bigpond.com too many times, you can get locked out for 3 hours.
How is this implemented? I assumed IP Address, browser identification, maybe the username involved, would be part of the implementation.
Of course, then i realised this was bigpond, removed the cookie, and logged in again, this time with the correct username, domainname and password.
Blarg.
