# Remove Account Lockout

**Account Lockout **policies, which temporarily or permanently lock user accounts after a certain number of unsuccessful login attempts, serve as a security feature to protect against brute force attacks and unauthorized access. **Locking Accounts** after a set number of failures makes it significantly more difficult for attackers to succeed. 

The **Remove Account Lockou**t is disabled by default. 

 In case a **User** has been locked out, due to multiple invalid login attempts it can be unlocked by going to the **Remove Account Lockout** option from the **User Tasks** navigation menu.
