# isLockedOut

## Declaration

```swift
var isLockedOut: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Whether biometry is locked out. The system might lock the user out of biometry for various reasons. For example, with Face ID, the user is locked out after 5 failed match attempts in row. To recover from bio lockout, users need to enter their passcode (e.g. during device ulock).
