Denial of service. I could write a bot that wakes up every 4 minutes and
tries 6 random passwords for your account (and theoretically every one else's
too) thus denying you (or theoretically anyone) the ability to get on as a
member, because no matter when you try, you will already be locked out for
that time period.
