Windows 10: Windows 11 Home edition account lockout threshold

Is there a default threshold in Windows 11 home edition for the number of attempts you can have to log on with a PIN before the account locks if the PIN is wrong? If so how long is the account locked and can you change the settings

:)

 

Is there an equivalent to the 'Account lockout threshold' security policy setting for Windows 10 Home users?

My understanding is that Windows 10 Home users don't have access to the Account lockout threshold security policy setting (and by extension the Account lockout duration policy setting) because Local Security Policy isn't available in Windows 10 Home. Is
there an equivalent setting available that will allow me to set a threshold for login attempts and lockout duration on my laptop?

Interactive logon: Machine account lockout threshold?

Hi all,

Just a quick question here. I have my machine BitLocker enabled and there is this Group Policy setting in Windows 10 called Interactive logon: Machine account lockout threshold. I left this setting NOT CONGIFURED.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/...(v=ws.11).aspx

Since my Windows logon password is more than 10 characters long and complex, is this setting required along with using BitLocker? Plus, I am the only one using my notebook most of the time at home. And when I do decide to travel with it, I would never lose possession of it.

So is this mandatory?
