May be we can not completely understand the functionality, but what is the differences between “Brute-force protector” and default CS-Cart add-on “Access restrictions”?

Hi,



Thank you for the good question.



As you may know, default “Access restrictions” add-on blocks the store completely after unsuccessful login attempts, so a user can't see store content. But our add-on allows to continue shopping after such attempts: make a purchase as anonymous/another user or reset the password as well. We suppose that working store is better than blocked one. What do you think about it?



Best regards,

CS-Market.

I would think that if I were going to deny someone the ability to login to their account because they are actually doing a brute-force attack that letting then shop and checkout anonymously would not be valuable. In addition, when they try to checkout using the same email as their account, they are going to get an error.
