The Login Limit defines the number of failed attempts allowed before a user account is disabled or locked for a specified time. When a user attempts to login and fails (because of an incorrect password), each attempt counts against the Login Limit. When the Login Limit is achieved, the account is disabled or locked for a specified time, according to the parameters set in in the Account Lockout Duration field. The Login Limit is defined by the Password Policy.
