Hi, the best place to put feature requests and code is the official Django tracker: http://code.djangoproject.com/simpleticket ; Otherwise, there's lot of chance that your request will get lost in the infinite abyss of everyone's mail boxes. It's also more convenient to put code there and review it. As for the idea itself: 1) Using cracklib must be an optional feature - bundling it with django is probably not an option (Django is great, because it doesn't require a compiler to install from source) 2) "Maximum Login attempts" - it's not something I really like. This usually penalizes the user, who now has to reset password, wait for the ban to timeout or do something else to unlock his/her account. What I think that is always welcome, is making code flexible enough to support your use case. Current code does exactly that: the login view lets you provide your own login form, so you can check passwords any way you like. Thus, your code is perfect for a 3rd party application. -- Łukasz Rekucki -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
