+1 to that idea. A little bit of lag, and *BOOM* a 1 second timeout fails to 
log a user in. That is unacceptable to the average user, because they'll 
keep trying and trying and trying only become more and more frustrated with 
the system.

As for what a reasonable time out is, I think 60 seconds is a good overall 
number, but perhaps something as low as 30 seconds might be okay. Anything 
lower is tempting fate. I'll admit to a 20 second timeout, but since I have 
a multi-key solution (20 seconds per key) in my specialized login code, that 
gives me 40 seconds overall.
