   String AUTH_METHOD_ID_PLUGIN_DESCRIPTION = "The identifier of the authentication method for this step. Since the authentication method is also the identifier for failed login attempts for this step, distinct identifiers must be chosen if multiple instances of the same step type are used to check different credentials (e.g., two password step instances check two different passwords).<p>Example: a system tracks two passwords per user. Password 1 is used in flow A, password 2 in flow B. These two steps must have distinct 'Authentication Method Ids', e.g. PASSWORD1 and PASSWORD2.</p>If only one identifier (e.g. \"PASSWORD\") is used, this may allow brute force attacks on the password as follows. Assuming an attacker knows the user's password 1, they get an unlimited number of attempts on flow B, as the 'PASSWORD' counter can repeatedly be reset to 0 by performing a successful login on flow A.<p>To prevent such attacks, use two different counters by setting the authentication methods, for example, to PASSWORD1 and PASSWORD2, respectively.</p>";
