I use a Poco X5, and I’ve been experiencing a frustrating issue with the screen lock delay system. Previously, if I entered the screen lock password incorrectly three times, the phone would ask me to wait 30 seconds before trying again. Now, that delay kicks in after just one wrong attempt—and it keeps increasing.
At first, it was 30 seconds after a single mistake. Then it became 60 seconds, and now it forces me to wait 2 full minutes even after one incorrect entry. I’ve searched through the settings extensively, but there is no option to disable or adjust this behavior.
This delay makes unlocking the phone unnecessarily frustrating, especially when a single typo forces you to wait for minutes. I expect a consistent and user-controlled security experience, not one that punishes minor input errors.
I’m asking Poco/Mi support to address this issue, provide a way to reset or manage lockout timing, or issue an update that restores the original multi-attempt grace before delays begin. Users should be able to control how their device handles security timeouts.

As an avid user of the Xiaomi Redmi 9t for almost a year now, I have recently encountered some serious security issues with the phone. Despite having an active screen lock, the phone seems to unlock itself while resting idly. I use both fingerprint and pattern unlock methods but to no avail. It's li...
I've been experiencing some irritating problems with my Poco X5 Pro. More specifically, I experience a decrease in FPS when attempting to play games with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. My previous Poco X3 NFC also boasted a 120 Hz display, effortlessly tackling games with ease. But what about this new X5...
I recently bought a new Honor smartphone, and I’m already dealing with a frustrating issue. Every time I get an incoming call, the phone asks for the lock screen password before I can answer. That means I have to unlock the phone just to pick up a call, which is both inconvenient and impractical—esp...
