Bug Description

Hello,

The following Launchpad pages are subject to brute force account discovery:

* login page, https://login.launchpad.net/+login
* password recovery page, https://login.launchpad.net/+forgot_password
* registration, https://login.launchpad.net/+new_account

They will tell if an email address is already registered or not without throttling, limit, or CAPTCHA. There should be.

Thank you,

--Thibaud

Next rollout includes the following improvements:

- Significantly tighten the registration view throttling limit.
- Fix registration and forgot password views to show a nice "rate limit exceeded" error message.
- Show "Check your email" page on password forget view for non-registered emails, the same as with registered emails.
