Although Microsoft is much later to the party, It’s always a good time to add security featuresand in this case we are faced with group policies in Windows 11 that, although they were available in Windows 10, are not activated by default. This is the login blocking before a brute force attack.
One of the least skilled attacks when it comes to trying to break into a user account is the brute force attack, an attack that simply tries to log in with hundreds of passwords per second. until he finds a “winning” combination that allows him to log into the system.
Now from the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22528.10000users will be able to protect themselves against this type of attack by default, although in Windows 10 we can also activate it and configure it manually. Anyway, there is a new group policy that is not available in Windows 10.
In Windows 10 we can protect any account as long as it is not an administrator account, something that in Windows 11 changes when a setting is added to be able to protect administrator accounts, possibly the most important to protect.
