### Account Lock Out

After five failed sign-in attempts with a password, BugSplat locks out the user for one second. The lockout duration then doubles after each additional failed attempt, up to a maximum of approximately 15 minutes. To reset the lockout to its initial state, the user must not initiate any sign-in attempts for 15 consecutive minutes at any time after a lockout.
