Brute-force protection ensures security against a single IP address attempting to attack a single user account. If a specific IP address fails multiple login attempts for the same user, brute-force protection takes the following actions:

* Blocks the suspicious IP address from logging in as that user.
* Sends an email notification to the affected user.
  {% endhint %}

Session lifetime limits determine how long the system should retain a login session. For security reasons, users are logged out automatically after certain intervals:

* **Inactivity timeout**: Period after a user's session expires - given they do not interact with the console. This occurs after **3 minutes** **of inactivity**.
* **Require login after**: Period after a user's session expires - independent of their interaction with the console. This is set to **30 days after login**.
