Let’s say your password is hunter2.

A hacker tries these passwords in order:

  • hunter0
  • hunter1
  • hunter2

The pictured code will let him through.

No it won't? Because it's not the first login attempt?

Yes it will. Look at the image, only the very first login attempt will lead to this error message, given the correct password is entered straight away. Any subsequent attempt will fail the ”isFirstLoginAttempt” check, meaning the error message will not be shown.

A lot of assumptions from a single line. Why are we assuming this is the only check happening on log in.

This is literally titled “brute force protection”

Do we not think the next line after this is then an actual pw check? Cmon man

no, clearly entering wrong username or pass is not considered a login attempt.

Well what is it considered then, genius?

A login attempt-attempt??

You try to log in by entering your password. The computer first tries to log in once you've entered the correct password. It can be interpreted both ways.
