[Linux-aus] I can't log in to vote

Hi Steven

Yes, there's a brute force login protection plugin on the website, so if 
you don't remember your password, it's best to use the password reset 
link (providing you actioned the membership renewal link when it came 
through last year) and invest in a password manager.

I don't know exactly what the timeframe it's set to at the moment, but I 
think it's only an hour or two.

regards
