Checkmk counted the consecutive failed logins of a user even if Lock user accounts after N logon failures was disabled, although nothing evaluated that counter.
The counter is now only maintained while account locking is enabled.
Keeping the counter required rewriting the complete user database on every failed login. On sites with many users this made failed logins very slow and could stall the GUI. This no longer happens with account locking disabled.
