Fix Recommendation

Configure the Google Android device to allow only 10 or fewer consecutive failed authentication attempts.

On the MDM Console:
1. Open password requirements.
2. Open device password section.
3. Set "Max password failures for local wipe" to a number between 1 and 10.

Check Contents

Review Google Android device configuration settings to determine if the mobile device has the maximum number of consecutive failed authentication attempts set at 10 or fewer.

This validation procedure is performed on both the MDM Administration Console and the Android 10 device.
On the MDM console, do the following:

1. Open password requirements.
2. Open device password section.
3. Review the policy configuration that was pushed down to the device and ensure the "Max password failures for local wipe" is set between 1 and 10.

On the Android 10 device, do the following:
1. Open Setting >> Security >> Managed device info.
2. Verify "Failed password attempts before deleting all device data" is set to 10 or fewer attempts.

If the MDM console device policy is not set to the maximum number of consecutive failed authentication attempts at 10 or fewer, or if on the Android 10 device the device policy is not set to the maximum number of consecutive failed authentication attempts at 10 or fewer, this is a finding.
