Brute force attack
++++++++++++++++++
phpMyAdmin on it's own does not rate limit authentication attempts in any way.
This is caused by need to work in stateless environment, where there is no way
to protect against such kind of things.
To mitigate this, you can use Captcha or utilize external tools such as
fail2ban, this is more details described in :ref:`securing`.
