It doesn't really even protect against online attacks though. Like, if you're going through a list of known accounts, by definition it won't be any of those accounts' first time logging in, right?

And if you're not going through a list of known accounts, good luck getting anywhere with your attack any time this millennia

This would be per session, not lifetime.

Function naming could use some work then, it's not obvious that isFirstLoginAttempt would be session-aware.

Sorry, I'll stop being pedantic now

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
