<ul>
<li>Control for Brute Force: Adds a maximum of failed login attempts within a certain period of 
time. If this maximum is achieved, the user is locked.</li>

password that can be: low, medium and high.</li>
<li>Password History: Don’t allow user to set password equals last 5 (in the next version this number 
will be configurable).</li>
<li>User Management: the network admin also can lock, unlock and reset user’s password manually 
(in case of password reset, the user receives a new activation key and no data is lost).</li>
</ul>
