I am working on securing my application against bruteforce attack. We have decided to lock the account for 10 minutes on 3 consecutive invalid logins. Have got this test-case - For example - 
If a user tries invalid credentials every 20 minutes or so. There will be approximately 3 attempts in one hour. Will it be a good idea to lock the user account in this case? Would you check a time gap between invalid login attempts? Please share your thoughts on this. Thank you!
