Obfuscation and frequent change are important security measures. In general, however, I can say it is designed to not be overly punitive on normal human error patterns like what you describe. In some lockout cases, you will be able to get in by resetting your password. Obviously this can be a pain if you have your tokens and credentials stored for tasks and it may not be worth rolling your credentials to get in a few minutes faster.
Thank you for the answer! I understand the tradeoff between usability and security. That is, it prevents you from starting the car.
In most states, you must wait a predetermined number of minutes before the device unlocks and allows you to try and give a clean breath sample. If you give a clean sample, you can start the vehicle and be on your way. If you fail the breath test a second time, the device will again enter lockout mode.
This time, you may well be locked out for a longer period of time than the first temporary lockout. Depending on your state, you may be allowed to try a third time to give a clean breath sample, but that may be hours after the first two failed tests.
If you fail the test a third time within a specified interval, the device may enter permanent lockout also known as a service lockout. A permanent, or service, lockout lasts more than a few minutes. The Windows and Windows Server operating systems can track logon attempts, and you can configure the operating system to disable the account for a preset period of time after a specified number of failed attempts.
Account lockout policy settings control the threshold for this response and what action to take after the threshold is reached. A denial-of-service DoS condition can be created if an attacker abuses the Account lockout threshold policy setting and repeatedly attempts to log on with a specific account. After you configure the Account lockout threshold policy setting, the account will be locked out after the specified number of failed attempts. If you configure the Account lockout duration policy setting to 0, the account remains locked until an administrator unlocks it manually.
Configure the Account lockout duration policy setting to an appropriate value for your environment. To specify that the account will remain locked until an administrator manually unlocks it, configure the value to 0. When the Account lockout duration policy setting is configured to a nonzero value, automated attempts to guess account passwords are delayed for this interval before resuming attempts against a specific account.
Using this setting in combination with the Account lockout threshold policy setting makes automated password guessing attempts more difficult. Unlock from Active Directory Account Lockout The easiest unlock method is based on the lockouttime attribute and works for all Active Directory versions since Windows Server The attribute lockouttime holds the date and time of the account lock event. What should you do? From the security perspective, Microsoft seems to be of two minds concerning whether to implement account lockout.
On the one hand, on page 3 of their white paper called Account Lockout Best Practices , they recommend the following: "Microsoft recommends that you use the account lockout feature to help deter malicious users and some types of automated attacks from discovering user passwords.
