But how do you communicate the 'reverse / offset 3 right' etc. 
instructions? They are simple algorithms that can be programmed by a 
cracker and I think really lower usability.

This is potentially insecure because the server is providing information 
about WHY a login failed. It would need to be encrypted or else someone 
could intercept it. Even the event of sending the email could denote 
partial success.

Fun to think about though, Jeff
