Before, we weren't checking if a login was successful before counting it against the rate limiter. With this change, we only count unsuccessful logins against the rate limiter. We did this because this was a bug but also because it caused problems with our e2e tests hitting the rate limit.
This changes adds a new method called `.canTry` to the rate limiter to check if there are tokens remaining in the bucket. It also adds suggestions from @oxy to make sure the user can brute force past the rate limiter.

This PR fixes the login rate limiter to not count successful logins. This is important because it was causing issues with the e2e tests hitting the rate limit even though the logins were successful.
