The Failed device password attempts report enables you to monitor the number of failed login attempts on your corporate devices during a specified time range. Only devices under advanced management are included in this report.
A failed login attempt is defined as 6 consecutive unsuccessful login attempts made from a device, with each subsequent unsuccessful attempt counting as an additional failed attempt.
For example, 6 consecutive failed attempts would count as 1 failed attempt, 7 consecutive failed attempts would count as 2, 8 consecutive failed attempts would count as 3, and so on.
