Missing critical way to alter flood protection before it denies

Example: Employees all login from a same set of IPs, and you don't want to shut down everyone if 25 people enter their wrong password 2 times in an hour, but still limit any non-external IP addresses.

The flood_is_allowed() function has no way of allowing anything else to change that result, limit, or window. It doesn't use drupal_alter() nor db_select() (which would allow us to alter the query directly).

    After being applied to the 8.x branch, it should be considered for backport to the 7.x branch. Note: This tag should generally remain even after the backport has been written, approved, and committed.

    Is this still an issue?
    The old flood_is_allowed have been replaced by the flood interface (Drupal\Core\Flood\FloodInterface) that you can apply to a class and implement you own isAllowed method.

    Yeah I think this is outdated. The user behaviour is defined by configuration, the flood service can be swapped out, and user module has it's own UserFloodControl class/service that can also be swapped out now.
