Windows 10: Sign in Blocked due to many attempts

I was trying to login into an old Hotmail account just AFTER resetting it again after following the authentication process which included using the 2FAS authenticator and obtaining the verification code from my linked email. I had just done the same process with another old email account, and now my sign in is blocked and I again have to wait 24 hours. This is extremely annoying as I had just reset, and yet I mistyped the new password and is now locked out again.

Windows hello has been blocked due to too many sign-on attempts

Hi,

I followed your suggestion. I also noticed that there appeared to be a system update at the same time. Anyway, the issue of the constant error of Windows Hello being blocked appears to be resolved. I have be able to logon successfully using the fingerprint
reader. However I have on one occasion had Windows hello blocked due to multiple sign-on attempts.

Is there any way to modify the Windows hello blocking settings?

Thanks and regards,

Mark
