Protecting the Mobile Access portal from password brute force

Is it possible to limit the number of password entry attempts on the Mobile Access portal?

For example, if a user enters an incorrect password 3 times, the user is blocked.

Yes, that is possible, see the Mobile Access R81 Administration Guide - it does, however, depend on the used authentication type.

Starting page 170 is User Authentication in Mobile Access. Here you select which kind of authentication should be used, and further steps are depending on it.

We have read, in our understanding it is used for 2-fa, we cannot organize dynamicid due to lack of resources, we are interested in the issue of blocking MAB users after entering the password incorrectly more than 3 times. Is there such functionality.

No - what we have is sk112454 How to configure Rate Limiting rules for DoS Mitigation (R80.20 and higher), but here we talk about more than 1000 packets per second ;- ) This can be used to prevent password brute force attacks...
