Account Protection

Account Protection helps improve the security of your DiskStation by protecting the accounts from untrusted clients with too many failed login attempts. This helps reduce the risk of accounts being broken by brute-force attacks.

Note:

To enable account protection:

  1. Go to Control Panel > Security > Account Protection.
  2. Tick Enable Account Protection.
  3. Specify a number in the field Login attempts and Within (minutes). An untrusted client will be blocked if it fails to log in too many times within the predefined period of time.
  4. Specify a number in the field Unblock (minutes later). The account protection will be canceled after the predefined period of time.
  5. Click Apply to save settings.

To cancel protection of selected accounts

  1. Click Manage Protected Accounts.
  2. Select the accounts to be canceled, and click Cancel Protection.

To unblock trusted clients

  1. Click Manage Trusted Devices.
  2. Select the clients to be unblocked, and click Unblock.
