Description

If an user has already logged-in previously to an account it may be sensible to give them a little bit more trust. We should also clear the throttling limit for that account then in case they want to relogin later or so.

Needs some more discussion and thoughts…

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reading the issue discussion and locating the login and throttling flows in the server; first clarify the proposed trust rule and how it should affect later logins. Done requires an agreed behavior and tests covering the trust and throttling changes.
