Hi,
I've tried to configure the MFA Account lockout and set it to 5 tries before the account gets locked out.
I've setup a test account and tried:
But the account is not locked out. Is there any other requirement I need to accomplish more than configure this?
When exactly is supposed to be triggered the lockout: 1) when introducing the wrong code or 2) when asking for many codes?
Thank you for your help!

Hello,
it seems the lockout action applies only to users that enter a PIN to authenticate, in association with the now deprecated Azure MFA server.
