'''Intruder Lockout Settings''' – these settings determine the actions that should be taken if someone attempts to log into your copy of [[SmartSimple]].
* Number of Attempts''' – the number of attempts to log in with an account before the account is locked.
* Lockout Duration''' – the duration of the account lockout. The [[User|user]] will not be able to log in during this period. Period can be set to 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours or forever (until unlocked by [[Administrator|administrator]]).
* The '''View Locked Users''' tab will display all [[User|users]] that have had their account locked. <br>
* If a user is locked, you can click on the '''Set Password''' button on the '''View Locked Users''' tab to reactivate the account and send the [[User|user]] a new [[Password|password]].
* ''Once an account has been locked for exceeding the number of permitted login attempts it will remain on the "locked users" list until the correct password is entered. This allows the administrator to see which users have been unable to log in, even if the configured lockout duration has passed and the account is no longer technically locked.''
* ''When an account has been locked for exceeding the alloted number of attempts, after the lockout time has passed they are permitted only one attempt at the correct password. A single incorrect password at this point will re-lock the account for the configured lockout duration. In other words, once someone is on the "locked user" list they are only permitted a single wrong attempt and they will be locked for the lockout duration again. This prevent would-be intruders from having multiple attempts to guess the password each time the lockout duration has passed. ''
'''Intruder Email Alert''' – these settings define who should be informed by email if an intruder alert is detected.
