Heh, I often have more than 3 wrong password attempts. Lockout is a really bad idea for me.

  Context is also relevant. The iPhone for example has a PIN lockout, and young kids love phones. More than once I've been punished by Apple for my kids curiosity.

    You can disable this in Settings -> Touch ID and Passcode using the Erase Data toggle.

      Not if your company overrides the settings. At my job, 5 is the limit, and then the phone is wiped. Seriously.

  I worked for a State government about 10 years ago. Some asshole managed to lock every single user's account by having a script attempt a login with an invalid password 10 times. Nobody could work for ~7 hours.
