Disable wrong password timeout after 3 tries in iOS

[joaonunatings]

I have nextcloud:apache (v27.1.3) running in a server behind a nginx proxy.

I have also installed Nextcloud on my iphone 8 and have the latest app version.
I enabled the Lock feature. If, for some reason, I fail 3 times in the unlock screen, I get a timeout for 60s with the following message:

Failed attempts, please wait
x seconds

Where x starts at 60.

I would like to disable this if it’s possible but not sure where this configuration can be changed.

Cannot login: Too Many Requests

This almost drove me nuts. I set up a new NC installation, with the same old domain, but did not restore the old accounts. So, 3 phones 3 computers with all the DAVx5, NC clients etc. tried to log in with invalid logins, so… I get locked out. Although the posts above are somewhat helpful, not one presented me with the detailed solution, step-by-step. Therefore, for those beginners like me, Below is how I solved the problem on any Debian/Ubuntu based nc installation. (Should work for NCP, NC-T…

I never input passwords in Android Nextcloud App. Only at first time.

This did not solve my problem

I will disable the Lock feature but it would be great to configure how many tries the Lock feature allows.

I don’t think you can disable the 60-second delay after entering your password incorrectly multiple times, but…

• …you could use a PIN instead of a password, which is easier to get right on the first try

• …you could use Face Unlock / Fingerprint if your device supports it

• …you could disable the Lock feature altogether and not leave the phone lying around unlocked and not let other people use it

I followed the solution in the article you sent me.

I get the same problem: 60s lock after 3 failed unlock tries.

I have provided a video here (expires in 2 days) of what happens in my iPhone.
