> As you could imagine, it takes several tries, dozen or two, maybe even three - depending on that cool password validator of yours.

That's confusing. Are you saying 3 dozen login attempts for an existing account shouldn't trigger a lock out?

That seems unusual. ;)

No, it should not. Why it is unusual? Happens to me from time to time (not exactly three dozens, though, 20-25 attempts).
Lockouts on the 5th attempt is fairly common.

If you need 20-30 attempts to get into your own account... that sounds like you're doing something wrong. :(
