Re: Defend against user enumeration timing attacks - overkill

Dear Peter,

I'm trying to balance the original problem statement (protection from
users enumeration) and avoid doubling time here if the process has
already taken a long time to provide faster auth method iteration.
I believe that a better solution is to set some arbitrary (probably
configurable) timeout and, in case when we spend more time than that
value, avoid doubling it.
