Login Attempts

[wojo0011]

In Laravel 5.4 during login screen the max login attempts is being ignored. No recaptcha is being used on the login page only the register page. However a malicious user can attack the login page if no recaptcha is being used on that page as this tool is over riding the ability to remember values of the number of login attempts probably due to the way the page is being reloaded. (Not sure). But in the login function this line of code:

if ($this->hasTooManyLoginAttempts($request)) ...
$this->incrementLoginAttempts($request); ...

seems to not remember the Login Attempts. It does seem run the code but does not remember the previous login attempt.
