Bug 18314 added account lockout for failed logins, but it's a hard lockout
which doesn't expire. While this has benefits, it does add administrative
overhead.

A well-crafted brute force attack could lock out all users permanently at
present.

A time-based mechanism could unlock the account after 15 minutes or so, and
further lockouts could get increasingly large lockout durations.
