Ensure Password Account Lockout Threshold Is Configured
Descripción
The account lockout threshold specifies the amount of times a user can enter an incorrect password before a lockout will occur. Ensure that a lockout threshold is part of the password policy on the computer. The account lockout feature mitigates brute-force password attacks on the system.

Cómo se corrige
Método de corrección: Guía o parche de infraestructura
Terminal Method: Run the following command to set the maximum number of failed login attempts to less than or equal to 5: % /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/pwpolicy -n /Local/Default -setglobalpolicy "maxFailedLoginAttempts=<value≤5>" example: % /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/pwpolicy -n /Local/Default -setglobalpolicy "maxFailedLoginAttempts=5" Profile Method: Create or edit a configuration profile with the following information: 1. The PayloadType string is com.apple.mobiledevice.passwordpolicy 2. The key to include is maxFailedAttempts 3. The key must be set to <integer><value≤5></integer> Note: The profile method is the preferred method for setting password policy since - setglobalpolicy in pwpolicy is deprecated and will likely be removed in a future macOS release. Note: This is for the login password only and does not affect the timeout of FileVault.
