Haiilo Home offers a brute force protection, which ensures that users with too many failed login attempts are blocked. Enabling this feature is a protection mechanism that protects against hacker attacks.
Note:
By default, brute force protection is not enabled.
Activation of the brute force protection
You can find the area for this in the administration under the point "Security".
Here you can define how many failed attempts are allowed and how long the blocking period should last. If no lock duration is entered, the user remains locked until he is unlocked by an administrator.
Note:
For the activation the administrator needs the appropriate rights: "Access to administration" + "Management of security settings".
For the activation the administrator needs the appropriate rights: "Access to administration" + "Management of security settings".
In addition, you will get an overview of all blocked users of your Haiilo Home here.
What happens if the brute force protection is active and the password is entered incorrectly too many times?
As soon as a user has entered an incorrect password too often, he or she is immediately blocked. There are now the following options for the user:
- He waits until the lockout period expires and then tries to log in again.
- It requests a password reset link and creates a new password. This also works only after the lockout period has expired.
- He contacts the admin of the network and asks him to unlock his account.
