Reduce the wait time to sign in with an unlock password retry.
Half the current time would be great!

This duration is controlled by your system's PAM setup, which is user-configurable but typically is set by your distro.

I don't think I was clear, I would like to reduce the current time to 3 seconds when you get the password wrong.
When you miss the password on the lock screen, you have to wait 3 seconds for a new attempt, if it is possible to change this time in the system settings, I could not find it.

You were clear enough. :) The 3-second time is determined by the PAM settings on your system. There isn't a GUI to control this in System Settings anywhere because it's a super niche setting that most people don't notice or care about. Ultimately the value depends on your distro's security policy. But it is overridable by the user, you just need to do it manually by writing a value to a config file somewhere. I don't know any more details than that, sorry. You'll have to do some research.
