One of my users received the following message when trying to login:

You have failed to login within the required number of attempts. You must now wait 6036h 57m 31s before you can login again

The obvious fix is to delete the cookies, so:

1) Why is the time set in a cookie and not in the database? A cookie can be deleted or altered.

2) Why can they not login for some 251 days? This can't be a new issue.
ACP > Configuration > User Registration and Profile Options > Time between failed logins

Set it to something sane, e.g. 15.
Huh, I've never noticed that one before.

Thanks.
