## Information about locking accounts
The central login of the University of Pécs (PTE) is based on PTE's institutional Active Directory (AD) server. This background service provides the password check necessary for login to Neptun,
as well as the majority of web applications (which use the PTE IdP), and domestic and international websites using EduID and EduGain identification.
The WiFi password check can also be traced back to this.
In addition, each user has an MS Office 365 account, which identifies the O365 functions. The O365 account is automatically synchronized with the PTE AD account, so the password is always the same.
The PTE institutional account is locked for 6 hours after 10 incorrect password attempts. We can unlock the PTE account with this service.
Note: repeatedly incorrect passwords and account bans can also be the result of an external attack.
The O365 account is automatically locked out for 15 minutes after 5 incorrect password attempts during access to O365 functions. The O365 account cannot be unlocked, you have to wait.
We cannot even detect this condition in this service.
Locking the O365 does not lock the PTE institutional account itself. If, on the other hand, the institutional account is blocked, it is not possible to log in to O365 during this time either.
