Lockout Authenticator
=====================

[](#lockout-authenticator)

[![Latest Stable Version](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/7c9f9b6f95ccee2996a74f37accc3750cf688cc02e284317970536b53abdedb8/68747470733a2f2f706f7365722e707567782e6f72672f616e64726561736e696a2f6c6f636b6f75742d61757468656e7469636174696f6e2f762f737461626c65)](https://packagist.org/packages/andreasnij/lockout-authentication)

This simple PHP authenticator uses the built-in PHP password hashing and verification functions to authenticate user objects implementing the provided interface. It has a lockout mechanism preventing users from logging in for a few seconds after they failed to login multiple times, making brute force attacks less effective.

} elseif ($authenticator->isLoginBlocked()) {
    echo 'Your account has temporarily been locked due to multiple '
        . 'failed login attempts. Try again later.';
} else {
    echo 'The username or password is incorrect!';
}

// Place code to save the $user object to persistent storage here
```
