Is it possible to disable the auto lock when entering password wrong on lock screen (lemmy.kde.social)

There is this useless feature where the lock screen tells you that the account is locked for 10 minutes because of three failed attempts to log in, but then I can just bypass it by forcing my computer off then powering it back on. Then what's the point of having it? I just got a new mechanical keyboard and I don't know if it has an issue or something, but it happened twice today without me doing anything while the pc is asleep, and it is annoying AF having to force shut down my pc by holding down the power button. This might also cause data loss for me. Is there a way to disable this thing?

Thanks

I wasn't asking why I can bypass it, I wanted to get rid of it because it's useless to me since my PC is physically in my basement and I'm right there trying to use it, not trying to access it remotely. Anyway, I got rid of it.
