-================================
-Example project for django-axes
-================================
-
-Installation
-================================
-1. Run the install.sh script:
-
-    $ ./install.sh
-
-2. Run the server:
-
-    $ ./manage.py runserver
-
-3. Try the app:
-
-There are two admin accounts created:
-
-- admin:test
-- test:test
-
-Open the http://localhost:8000/admin/axes/accessattempt/ URL and log in using admin:admin.
-
-In another browser open http://localhost:8000/admin/ URL and try to log in using test:1 (wrong
-password). After your 3-rd wrong login attempt, your account would be locked out.
-
-Testing
-================================
-To test the app in an easy way do as follows:
-
-    $ ./test.sh
