Public bug reported:
If you have full-disk encryption enabled, you are asked for your
password upon boot-up. If you enter the incorrect password three times,
you are forced to wait for 60 seconds before you can try again. You are
show this message:
cryptsetup: going to sleep for 60 seconds
Ubuntu is Linux for humans. Humans forget their passwords, and they need
more than three tries sometimes. If Ubuntu's keyboard layout is not the
one you are expecting, there is no indication of that (bug #1862656),
and it takes more than three tries to figure that out and then enter the
correct password. There is also no way to display the password (bug
#1862654), which also makes it likely that a user may need more than
three tries.
Please give the user more than three tries before forcing them to wait,
or at least reduce the wait time from 60 seconds to something shorter.
I am using Ubuntu 18.04.
