I have confirmed the smart lockout specifications for Azure AD B2C on this page.

https://learn.microsoft.com/ja-jp/azure/active-directory-b2c/threat-management#unlock-accounts

Is it correct to assume that the following items not listed on this page are the same as the Azure AD smart lockout specifications?

1)The period during which the number of consecutive sign-in attempts is reset => Information is not disclosed.

2)How to unlock the lockout⇒An administrator cannot unlock. The lockout period expires or self-service password reset is performed.

    Hello @Ayano K , glad to comment about your assumptions:

    1. There's no reset period. Lockout is time based.
    2. Correct, an adminstrator cannot unlock an account. Only users can do trough a password reset journey.
