Dear KDE community,

Hopefully I chose the right category for my question and I also couldn't find any relevant answer in Google.

The question is: I use SDDM as a display manager (the one which is preferred for KDE) in my Arch Linux setup. Every time I do a typo in my password while logging in, there's about 3-5 seconds delay before I can type it again and retry. I want to disable this timeout.

DISCLAIMER: I'm concerned about security and I know that this timeout prevents brute-forcing my password by an attacker. The point is: on this specific system I don't care. I'm ok with a risk of someone brute-forcing my password. All I want convenience and ability to quickly type my password as fast as I want.

How do I disable this timeout? Is it only possible by recompiling SDDM? Or is it relying on some other subsystems like PAM which causes this timeout?

I know it's been 2.5 years & nobody replied, but I'd also really like to do the same - did you ever figure this out...?
