When a user attempts to log in, the system monitors login attempts to ensure the security of the user account. In the event of three consecutive failed login attempts, the system triggers an automatic security measure, resulting in the user account being temporarily locked.
This security mechanism is implemented to protect user accounts from unauthorized access attempts, such as brute-force attacks or repeated incorrect login information. Once the threshold of three failed login attempts is reached, the system takes precautionary action by restricting access to the account.
To activate the account lockout feature, administrators can navigate to Settings -> General -> Config.
During the account lockout period, users can contact the admin to release the locked account activity. This can be done from Settings -> General -> Operators -> Edit Icon.
