"There have been more than 5 failed login attempts for this account. It is temporarily blocked." and the flood table is empty

When I try to log in as an admin user, I am getting the following error:

There have been more than 5 failed login attempts for this account. It is temporarily blocked. Try again later or request a new password.

This answer explains that this can usually be cleared up by truncating the flood table in the database.

However, when I checked my flood table in the database with PHPMyAdmin, it was empty.

I did some further troubleshooting:

  • I can log in as other users, just not the suspended user.
  • I am viewing the correct database; when I registered a new user, I could see the new user's data in the database.

The user in question is an admin user account that I use to log in with for behat tests; the behat tests failed on my cloud site, so I pulled the database into my local dev environment (lando) and am now trying to give myself access to that admin account.

What you are telling seems to impossible, unless you have more than one database. For example a second in-memory database like Redis.

@4k4 Good catch, redis was at fault here. Feel free to add an answer and I will accept.

When you have installed Redis the database content for caching, flooding, locking and queuing will be stored in the in-memory database and you have to look there to find this data.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
