Formatted the change from comment #12. I had to make an adjustment however, as a "reason" field was added to the audit notifications since this was reported I believe, which caused the notification to send a failure with no reason (Unauthorized) rather than AccountLocked. Please take a look to make sure this is correct.

The evasive-mode lockout from http://www.metzdowd.com/pipermail/cryptography/2017-August/032640.html was an interesting idea, perhaps that could be investigated in the future.
