# biometryLockout

Biometry is locked because there were too many failed attempts.

## Declaration

```swift
static var biometryLockout: LAError.Code { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion A passcode is now required to unlock biometry. Try the LAPolicy.deviceOwnerAuthentication policy instead to allow use of a passcode.
