Navigate to System Settings (1) > Security tab (2) > Temporarily Suspend Accounts (3)
Select 'Yes' to temporarily lock a user account after a specified number of failed login attempts.
The extra options for this functionality allow you to adjust your preferences: Failed Attempts (4) and Suspension Duration (5). In the below example, after [3] failed attempts suspend duration is set for [1] minutes.
The first drop-down allows you to specify the number of failed login attempts that trigger a suspension. In the image, it is set to 3.
The second field lets you set the duration for the suspension. Here, it’s set to 1 minute, meaning the account will be locked for 1 minute after 3 failed attempts.
Increment the Suspension Duration (6): If this option is checked, the system will increase the suspension duration incrementally for each subsequent series of failed login attempts, following a mathematical sequence.
Click Save (7) to save your preferences.
