Security feature request

Could we have an incorrect password time-out on the unlocking of 1Password. It seems that the application itself is not protected from a brute-force attack. Maybe 5 failed attempts invokes a 1 minute wait or some such.

    Thank you for the link and lightning quick response. It answered my question completely.



    I knew there had to be something dealing with this. Based on passed experience with your company I suspected this gaping hole in security would be addressed. I have asked about various security elements in the past and through those answers and reading your produced documents dealing with these questions I know how thoroughly your company looks at security. I did search for this answer before posting to the forum but did not find anything dealing with my specific question. So thanks again for the link. Interesting approach.
