Hello,

I know on v8 there is a lockout feature for failed attempts

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/3/f35e711f79a203c5e56849e5ac8eb36411e34df1.png)

Is there something similar available for 7.8 or scripting I can use for this?

Thank you

No there’s nothing like this available in versions before the lockout functionality was introduced (~8.0.6 maybe?).

If there were a workaround or scripting way to accomplish this it might not have been implemented as a first class feature when it was.
