KDE 'wrong password' delay


Recommended Posts

I use the "lock screen" feature of KDE (and have the screensaver require a password). However, when I enter an incorrect password (like one of my work passwords, or a plain typo) it takes 5 seconds of sitting there staring at it before it allows me to retry.

Is there any way to reduce the time on this annoying delay? (not that I make a lot of typos... :whistle: )

the reason it's there is to prevent brute force password attempts. you will notice that delay in a console login as well.

how to change/remove it? i have no idea.
