Biometric Retry Limit—All users are automatically
blocked from accessing the device using biometric
authentication. Password authentication is still
available (if applicable).
Note: Biometric false rejections (when a genuine
user is not validated during an authentication
attempt even when using an enrolled finger) can
occur with any biometric system. The false rejection
rate increases with higher biometric security levels.
Therefore, it is recommended that you set a high
biometric retry limit to minimize the chances of
blocking access to the device for biometric users due
to false rejections. Setting a low retry limit can
easily result in blocked access, especially if a low
False Match Rate (FMR) is set for the biometric
security level. See also, Biometric Security Level.
