| Save Retry Limit to User | Specify whether the number of failed login attempts persists between successful authentications. Possible values are:- Enabled

  The node saves the number of failed login attempts to the user's profile. New flows using this node start with the stored value and continue to the retry limit.

  AM resets the count after the user authenticates successfully with an authentication journey that contains this node.

  If AM cannot find the user's profile, authentication ends with an error.

- Disabled

  The node saves the number of failed login attempt in the `nodeRetryLimitKey` shared state property, which is discarded when the authentication session ends.For security reasons, ForgeRock recommends that you enable this setting.Default: Enabled. |
