Related - I've been considering a PAPE proposal for "time since user
last changed credentials" (to be suspicious if the user *just* reset
their password a few minutes ago - and MORE suspicious if you
suddenly get a lot of users in a row whose passwords were recently
reset!). Bad for actual passwords, though, since it could discourage
users from regularly changing it.
So far I haven't proposed it; I'm not sure it belongs in PAPE, even
if it *is* authentication-related and *could* be used to detect
(possible) attackers exploiting sudden E-mail access (or
guessing/sniffing the master password at the OP) to force the user's
password into a state they know.
