So in the new .Net Framework 4.5.1 AspNetUser table does not have a column to lock user out after a finite number of unsuccessful attempts. Are there frameworks or solutions bui

Answer 1

In the upcoming 2.0 Identity release, there is support for Account Lockout

Configuration:

    manager.UserLockoutEnabledByDefault = true; // Enables ability to lockout for users when created
    manager.DefaultAccountLockoutTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5);
    manager.MaxFailedAccessAttemptsBeforeLockout = 5;

Usage:

manager.IsLockedOutAsync(user.Id) // Check for lockout
manager.ResetAccessFailedCountAsync(user.Id); // Clear failed count after success
manager.AccessFailedAsync(user.Id); // Record a failure (this will lockout if enabled)
manager.SetLockoutEnabled(user.Id, enabled) // Enables or disables lockout for a user
