The 'Failed attempts lockout' feature is used to temporarily disable accounts after a certain number of incorrect login attempts. This enhances security by preventing brute-force attacks, as an attacker cannot keep trying different passwords indefinitely. Other options like 'Restrict login times' and 'Disable guest account' are important but serve different security purposes.
