follow that it say so such file "common-auth"
is there a similar thing on mac so i can remove the wrong password delay?

The easiest answer is to enter the correct password........

I hope not - it is a security feature to slow those trying to guess your password.

But I can see that is problem if you are having to guess your own password! Maybe a sticky note - on no, that is even worse security.

You could enable automatic login. Unless you have your drive encrypted, the password is useless anyway.

I am guessing that this works on macOS also, albeit in a different configuration file in /etc/pam.d/. You could try adding nodelay and see what happens. I would make a backup before though.

This delay is actually a security feature. I would not recommend disabling this.

if you have passcode on iphone, you can try to put in a wrong code and see what i think is a better ui experience. for the first few tries there is no delay. it even allows you to start typing your 2nd attempt before the wrong code shaking animation is over.

I'm bumping this as I have the same question. I know on Intel macs you can effectively bypass the T2, is there anything similar here? Setting a nodelay/nolockout?
