Limits and lockout of Two-Factor Authentication
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A second factor is meant to protect users if their password is somehow leaked
or guessed. However, some factors could still be broken by brute force. For
this reason, users will be locked out after too many failed 2nd factor login
attempts.
For TOTP 8 failed attempts will disable the user's TOTP factors. They are
unlocked when logging in with a recovery key. If TOTP was the only available
factor, admin intervention is required, and it is highly recommended to require
the user to change their password immediately.
Since FIDO2/Webauthn and recovery keys are less susceptible to brute force
attacks, the limit there is higher, but block all second factors for an hour
when exceeded.
An admin can unlock a user's Two-Factor Authentication at any time via the user
list in the UI or the command line:
[source,bash]
pveum user tfa unlock joe@pve
