Configure paranoid mode for user login authentication

conf.user configure authentication paranoid_mode
                [true|false]

Product

Guardian

Description

Paranoid mode in authentication is enabled by default. It is used to control the disclosure of information about the existence of a user during the login authentication process and to normalize the login response time. When this setting is disabled, after several failed login attempts, the user is warned with a message about the remaining attempts before the account gets locked. As a consequence, the user information can be leaked. However, when this setting is enabled, there is no warning message and thus no potential for user information leak.
