Comment 15 for bug 138654

Steve: Yes, 0.5s is a vast improvement over 2s, and I would consider this 'fixed'.

Perhaps this should be two bugs, one paper-cut: "Default password delay is too long", and one that is (as you say) harder to fix: "First few local password attempts should be instant".

I think you can easily fix the first part. The second is not so important since 0.5s isn't nearly as annoying as 2s.

Cheers.
