OK, after talking to design and security, we're going to use delays by default. Marc suggested a 5 minute wait after 5 failed attempts. So I'll start with that.
Design would still like to add the ability to wipe after some failures as an opt-in option. See bug 1350449 for that. I'll revert the bug title here. ** Summary changed: - Factory-reset the phone after enough failure attempts + Delay log in attempts after several failed ones ** Branch unlinked: lp:~mterry/unity8/reset-after-failed-logins -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1347907 Title: Delay log in attempts after several failed ones Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: New Status in The Unity 8 shell: New Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: capturing the desire from our security team to add in a delay for the ability to attempt unlocks on the greeter. unless design provides some other specification choose 5 potential failed attmepts, upon which the greeter will not unlock or allow a password entry attempt for 1 hour.
