[Suggestion] Lockout after entering wrong password

Manaburner

Hi,



in 1P 3.7 you have been locked out for a certain time if the password has been entered wrong multiple times. Would love to see that in 1P 4.

Lockout after several attempts made a lot of sense for the 4 digit code. It is pretty easy to pick the pin code with only 10,000 combinations.



However, it is really hard to pick the master password by hand. After all it is designed to withstand bruce force attacks by supercomputers.



Adding a lockout for the master password might be creating more problems than solving them. Imagine a kid getting access to your phone and locking it out for a few hours when you really need the data.



Having said that, I can see a benefit of showing an audit message if someone failed to enter the correct password before.

Hi Roustem,



Thank you for the clarification. The audit message would be a good idea indeed.

Hi Michael,



We're looking into adding the audit message. Many of us would agree with that, so hopefully, we'll add it as soon as possible.
