Is there any core framework support for locking out a user after they have failed a given number of login attempts?

I've done some searching through the developer guide and UT and can't really find anything talking about this. I thought maybe there would be something like HookUserAuthenticationAttempt but couldn't find anything like that.

So unless there is a switch to flip I guess what I'll do is extend the base classes and add code to do this check.

Does anyone know of a better approach?
