Description
By limiting the number of failed login attempts, the risk of unauthorized system access via user password guessing, otherwise known as brute-forcing, is reduced. If the administrator enters an incorrect password three times, the Admin portal locks the account, adds a log entry in the Server Administrator Logins report, and suspends the credentials until it is reset.
