How to disable account if user login fails continuously in Asp.Net Core identity


Currently, I'm using Asp.net core 1.1, EF core & Asp.net core Identity in my system. I have a configure below in startup.cs class for the password policy.

Is there a configure to disable account when a user continuously login fails?

services.Configure<IdentityOptions>(options =>
{
    // Password settings
    options.Password.RequireDigit = true;
    options.Password.RequiredLength = 6;
    options.Password.RequireNonAlphanumeric = true;
    options.Password.RequireUppercase = true;
    options.Password.RequireLowercase = true;
}

Solution

  • You can simply do it like this

    options.Lockout.DefaultLockoutTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30);
    options.Lockout.MaxFailedAccessAttempts = 5;
    options.Lockout.AllowedForNewUsers = true;
