The

Panel Menu offers two setting categories: Login Policy and
Lockout Policy:
Login Policy
Select
Allow single login
if you don’t want users to be able to log in more
than once at the same time.
Select
Allow duplicate logins
if you want users to be able to log in with
the same account more than once at the same time. This is the default.
Lockout Policy
To lock users out after a specified number of failed login attempts, click to
put a check in the
Lockout users after invalid login attempts
checkbox
enable the lockout function. The default is enabled.
Note:
If you don’t check this box, users can attempt to log in an unlimited
number of times with no restrictions. For security purposes, we
recommend that you enable the lockout policy.
Key the number of login failures you wish to allow before the user gets
locked out in the
Maximum login failures
field. The value specified here
must be at least 1. The default is 5.
Key the amount of time (in minutes) a locked out user must wait before
being allowed to log in again in the
