Bug ID: 488665
Summary: Disable graceTimer in lockscreen, as it provides 0
security guarantees
Classification: Plasma
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: 6.0.5
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: phoenix_8...@hotmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Currently, the grace lock timer of the lockscreen is hard-coded in the qml file
of the lockscreen (!!), e.g., see
/usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.kde.breeze.desktop/contents/lockscreen/LockScreenUi.qml).
I believe this does not make any sense and provides zero security improvements
w.r.t. to not have it at all, as it is enough for the user to change theme (!)
and have this "security measure" automatically disabled. Either use PAM, or
make it customizable, or simply remove it altogether, as it is just frustrating
to wait for 3 seconds before writing again the password, knowing I am loosing
time without gaining any security.
