The only possible use we would ever have for a lock-out policy… is 1 that Windows has never supported:
1. Allow an infinite number of guesses.
2. After EACH wrong guess… lock the user out for 3 seconds.

It would be pointless for hackers to waste YEARS trying to guess 1 password.

Valid users would never notice a problem… if they enter a wrong password…
by the time they typed in another one… it would be ok to do so.
They would never notice any “lock out” at all.

Or DOES Windows support that? Perhaps via a direct RegEdit?
Does anyone know the 3 password values that would be needed?
