Probally the simplest solution to this is to add a Graphic Security code, like I have done on the new registration form, that you have to enter in the unique security code shown in the graphic when logging in. Will make logging in a bit longer but will prevent remote attacks on the login page.

Well I have implemented it on this board if you would like to test the new login page.

It now requires that you enter a unqiue security code when logging in that is shown in graphic format.

If won't completly stop a hacker from guessing passwords but it will make their task harder as they will have to enter in a new security code by hand on each attempt that a remote hacking tool won't be able to read.

Perhaps i am verry lucky person, because not victom of hacking.
Is it always needed to login with the security code or is there a possibilty that users don't have to add the code when loggin in?

In the next version there will be a boolean in the common.asp file that you can change to false if you don't want the security code when logging in.
