WIP: lock: Add lockout after failed login entry
hey there, this is my first MR here :)
Linux PAM has a feature that lockout the user for some time (10 minutes, by default) after some failed login attempts (3, by default). I must say that I wasn't aware of this feature, until an update on Arch Linux enabled it by default and locked me out.
One can configure the parameters of pam_faillock.so
by editing /etc/security/faillock.conf
file. The goal of this MR is to add an option at GNOME Settings to let users change this option, including disabling it. For now, I did just the front-end part, but before I hack the back-end, I would like to know if this feature is desirable by GNOME team and if someone has a feedback about the UX:
thanks!
