Eric, I got around to looking at the Tech Note Tim Penner put up talking about this subject. https://kb.4d.com/assetid=78310
I haven't looked at or used the Validate password method but if you are using 4D users it's useful. First you can pass a hashed ( https://doc.4d.com/4Dv17R5/4D/17-R5/Generate-digest.301-4127707.en.html) password as well as plain text. More to the point of workstation security after 4 failed attempts 4D itself enforces a 10 second freeze. Sadly this freeze seems to only apply to every 5th attempt - using both17.2 and 17r6.
