"You Have Exceeded The Maximum Number of Login Attempts" message appearing after first attempt

[108CAM]

Came to the forum and went to log in like I have many times before but this time, a message that said "You Have Exceeded The Maximum Number of Login Attempts" appeared after the first login attempt which is rather odd. Almost seems like the forum's security systems are taking their job a little too seriously.
Is this a known issue or am I the first to experience it? The main reason for bringing this up is so that users don't get locked out of their accounts.

Hi,

Same issue there, in addition mail arrived in spam.

it's ok now but guess it's blocking lot of new users.

It's still doing that. Logged in today and it gave me the same message.
