If I mistype my password on the lock screen I have to wait ca. 3-5 seconds to reenter it. I could have spent the time to reenter the password. It should in my opinion only time block the login attempts.
This is just another case of the old: security vs. comfort. The password field is disabled for increased security to make it more annoying to brute force the password.
Right. But could it wait with the annoying part until after 3 failed attempts? 3 attempts isn't exactly "brute force".

ok. Thanks for listening :-)
