My guess is a simple failure count, with it not caring what kind of failure there was. If you've failed to type it in three times in a row, probably there's something that you need to fix, so that you don't end up with an unusable login. Ignoring your particular case, it may stop a bad keyboard, or a typist who needs to type slower to accurately enter their password. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1062.4.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Oct 18 17:15:30 UTC 2019 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
