I always wondered, how does brute force password hacking work when many sites lock you out after 3-5 failed attempts?

Thankfully viva has the additional mathematical question 

it's basically like double hacker proofing this whole place

Aside from the make up of passwords, a problem for many is remembering a large number of unique passwords. At last count, I have 162 of them stored, which introduces another vulnerability, but  remembering 162 passwords just isn't practical.
