It should be that it rejects the password the first time it’s entered correctly but accepts it on every subsequent try. That actually would provide some protection against like dictionary attacks and raw brute force attacks.
could also work in a brute force scenario, but first attempt would be not first attempt in a set amount of time but first attempt for each password by the user in a fixed amount of time
If they had the password right the first try, that isn’t a brute force attack, thats a credential leak.

I think the author attempted first time login to be with the right password.
