My library uses Bibliocommons as its interface. (I tend to use Bibliocommons as an example of Software (or Platform) as-a-Service.)
I was trying to sign on last night (a little after midnight, so some maintenance might have been going on), and got an error message saying I should try again. (I don't recall any maintenance notice.) I did try again, several times, until all at once I got a different message, basically saying that I was blocked out of my account for an hour because too many attempts had been made with the wrong password.
I wasn't trying with the wrong password (and confirmed that).
Therefore, there is something wrong in the security parts of the system, in that it can confuse it's own refusal to allow a login (for whatever reason) with a security violation.
This is concerning, since it may indicate potential weaknesses in the security system itself ...
