Description D3XT3R 2025-09-08 23:00:09 UTC

When you're locked out of your account, if you enter the wrong password three times in a row, a message appears informing you that you must wait 10 minutes before trying again. However, the unlock countdown on the lock screen doesn't start or update!

It's just a note about how long the lock-out will last; it's not actually a timer.

In terms of UX, it would be very interesting to visualize a timer, to be sure when it will be possible to make a new attempt. Do you agree, would it be technically possible?

Probably.
