Configure your lockout policy
With the Lockout policy, you can block users who consecutively failed to log in a defined number of times.
To define your lockout policy, configure the following settings:
-
In Max Attempts, accept the default number of 5 allowed login attempts or enter another value.
If the user exceeds this number, their account is automatically locked-out.
-
In Lockout Duration, accept the default lockout time of 180 seconds or enter another value that defines how long the locked-out user account should remain blocked.
You can select Never Unlock if you want the user account to remain locked-out. If this setting is selected, the locked-out user won't be able to log in and will have to contact the IT department to request their account to be unlocked.
