Abstract

Login credit is monitored over a credit time period. Continuous invalid login attempts decrease the login credit for the duration of the credit time period. Login credit accumulates with time. If the login credit is less than a credit threshold, login processing is precluded. A common invalid login notification for presentation to a user is generated if login processing is precluded or if login processing indicates that the login credentials are invalid.
