The ultimate punishment for entering a wrong password.
A simple password prompt asks to enter a password, and its even on the alert box, so don't screw it up the first time. Now enter the wrong password!
Basically how it works, is you get four attempts (customizable) to enter a valid password (also customizable).If you get it right, then it directs you to a web site ( i set it to PSC ), but...if you get it wrong, it opens a set URL (customizable) for as long as you have the first main window opened.
Two things, if you know now to close the main password prompt window, i doubt you will loose any information (as in crashing applications), and it keeps opening the new windows until either the systems locks up (uses 100% of the CPU) or the window is closed.

' Inputs:the URL you want to go to when you get the password right, URL for wrong, number of tries, the actual password, and you can customize the alert boxes and password box. I found a similar idea to this on the web, but this one is slightly different.
'
' Returns:try it to see!
'
' Assumes:none...all the HTML is here so its a no brainer cut and paste. Just cut it, try it, know that you are warned about the incorrect password route, and enjoy!
'
' Side Effects:100% CPU useage until you close the main password window

Ya know, An even better thing you could do is instead of opening "http://www.a_valid_domain.com" open up an other web page that is opening itself. 1,2,4,8,16,32,... More reliable. Then they have to close every single last one before it stops, not just one. Just a tip (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

So sorry boys, but this code isn't very safe, but it's cool and will keep away some people... I'm not good at javascript so I can't do it, but it would be alot more secure if you closed the original window before or after it had opened all those new windows! In this way people can read your codes an the easily get the password! If you closed your window just after then they wouldn't get the password so quickly, but it would still be easy to get it!
So use this for fun, not for safety! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

This code is just dumb...why are you going to open a window if someone types a wrong password... firstly, the password is plaintext in the source code, second the fact that a person could screw up their password is quite possible. This code will just kill a person's attempt to log in. This code is basically useless and so is most stuff javascript if you are atempting to password protect...
Look elsewhere, like server-side, password checking if you are looking for security. Punishing users for screwing up a password is just dumb... IMHO (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
BTW, i mean no disrespect by my comment, i just don't agree that it's a great script to use for users...It is certainly a deterant, but there are other methods...That was my basic point (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

This code works, but is just not secure. I wont use it for security purposes if i were you (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
