Check Contents

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

This validation procedure is performed on both the management tool Administration Console and the Samsung Android device.

On the management tool, in the device password requirements section, verify the "max password failures for local wipe" is set to "10" attempts or less.

On the Samsung Android device, do the following:
1. Open Settings >> Biometrics and security >> Other security settings >> Managed device info.
2. Verify "Failed password attempts before deleting all device data" is set to "10" attempts or less.

If on the management tool the "max password failures for local wipe" is not set to "10" attempts or less, or on the Samsung Android device the "Failed password attempts before deleting all device data" is not set to "10" attempts or less, this is a finding.
