Apparently you have forgotten to read between the lines in the
descriptions in the install tool ;-)


['FE']['loginSecurityLevel'] says:


'Default state for frontend is "normal". Alternative authentication
services can implement higher levels if preferred.'


...and ['BE']['loginSecurityLevel'] says:


'DO NOT CHANGE this value manually; without an alternative
authentication service it will only prevent logins in TYPO3 since the
"superchallenged" method is hardcoded in the default authentication
system.'


In other words, it seems that YOU can build alternate authentication
services for BE or FE, but there are no others unless you do so.
