Won't protect against an offline attack (just will confuse the hell out of the hacker) but might confound an online attack? Until someone gets wise and runs the tool a second time. Loving the chaotic neutral vibes here.

It doesn't really even protect against online attacks though. Like, if you're going through a list of known accounts, by definition it won't be any of those accounts' first time logging in, right?

And if you're not going through a list of known accounts, good luck getting anywhere with your attack any time this millennia

This would be per session, not lifetime.

This makes it even more cursed

Function naming could use some work then, it's not obvious that isFirstLoginAttempt would be session-aware.

Sorry, I'll stop being pedantic now
