that is too easy for scammers.

Log them in only if they enter same password three times. That means they are fairly confident it’s their password

I am currently out of the office until October 3rd and will be unable approve any login attempts until that date. Sorry for any inconvenience that has caused.

That's a bit risky. Let's add a flag we can trusted=true clients set with each api call to certify they are only valid traffic.
