    Change number of failed login attempts

    Hi

    I am using Umbraco 7.3 and the default number of failed login attempts is 5 in the membership area. I would like to change this to 10 but I have no idea how or where. I found old threads in umbraco 4 to add umbracoLockPropertyTypeAlias="lock" to the web.config . Is this still the case and if so after I've added that where do I put the property alias so that I can edit the number.

    Thanks in advance Natasha

    Thanks Jinesh

    Adding it to the above gave an error, I had to add it to this part instead and it works:

     <add name="UmbracoMembershipProvider" type="Umbraco.Web.Security.Providers.MembersMembershipProvider, Umbraco" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" minRequiredPasswordLength="8" useLegacyEncoding="true" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" defaultMemberTypeAlias="Member" passwordFormat="Hashed" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="10"/>
