The TWX login system is not secure enough (according to client)

The TWX login system is not secure enough (according to client)

 

Client mentioned that they can use Brute Force attack to find out the password of the User, although I explained with "length limit","blacklist","user lock" it won't be that easy to hack the User.

 

The client suggests TWX adding a new field during User login [ popup login or FormLogin], in this field we type in the random number we read from a picture the system generates, and it will change everytime we try to login. This is a common secure mechnism in China to avoid

PTC strongly recommends that customers use Single Sign-On (SSO) to authenticate to ThingWorx, and will thus focus R&D efforts on enhancing that capability. Additionally, customers using Basic or Form authentication can limit the number of login attempts (defaulting to 5) within a certain period (defaulting to 5 minutes), which will make a brute force attack such as the one described almost impossible.
