Windows 11 now blocks bruteforce attacks with an Account Lockout Policy. Windows will automatically lock down accounts after 10 failed login attempts.
Not all threats to your computer come from viruses and dodgy emails. Some people will simply try to smash their way into your PC by generating as many passwords as possible until they gain access, like a lock picker. Windows 11 can now stop that.
“Win11 builds now have a default account lockout policy to mitigate RDP and other brute force password vectors.” said David Weston, Microsoft vice president of Sscurity and enterprise in a tweet earlier today. “This technique is very commonly used in Human Operated Ransomware and other attacks — this control will make brute forcing much harder, which is awesome!”
