I bet the organization's cybersecurity team was like, 'Let's make it so secure, even our own employees can't get in!' Brilliant!

Once locked, accounts can't be unlocked? Wow, that's like a one-way ticket to the password graveyard. Guess the IT team will be busy resetting passwords all day.

Password length and complexity reduced? Well, that's one way to make it easier for everyone to remember their passwords. Maybe they should just use '12345' instead.

Okay, so legitimate users might get locked out? Sounds like a great way to keep them from accessing the resources they need. Productivity is overrated anyway.

User 2: Agreed, it's a fine line between security and usability. We don't want to lock out the people who actually need access.

But wouldn't it also make brute-force password attacks more effective if the lockout policy is too lenient?

I agree with Charlesetta. If the account lockout policy is too strict, it could prevent legitimate users from accessing their accounts.

Looks like these settings could make brute-force attacks a walk in the park. Might as well leave the door wide open for hackers!
