Answer:

They are usually blocked after 3 attempts, although in some cases they can be up to 5 consecutive attempts.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the most popular security measures in relation to user accounts is to block the account after a certain number of incorrect passwords entered in a short space of time, a very good configuration that will prevent us from getting someone to crack our password by insistence or it was gross, but that can be a problem if we ourselves have forgotten our password.

a user account is typically locked after 3 to 5 consecutive failed authentication attempts. Beyond that, some lock the account only for a period of time, like 15 minutes to an hour, or may lock it until an administrator intervenes to unlock the account.
