Account lockout feature will be track the number of failed login attempts. If the number of consecutive failed login reaches a configurable threshold (default 5), user account will be “locked”

By default, account lockout is enabled, but the feature is configurable via a FEATURES flag.

Configure:

Open and edit lms.env.json file using your favorite editor. Then find the "FEATURES" configuration, add ENABLE_MAX_FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS into "FEATURES" array and set to false. See the following codes snippet:

    "FEATURES": {
        ...
        "ENABLE_MAX_FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS": false,
        ...
    },

Restart LMS service.
