This trigger will fire whenever an incorrect passcode (not fingerprint) is entered on the lock screen. Note that this trigger will only fire when a legal login attempt is made (for example a 3 digit pin is not allowed so will not cause this trigger to fire).

''' Notes '''
* This trigger requires Device Administrator permissions to function. MacroDroid must be enabled as a Device Administrator in your device settings.
* Once Device Administrator is enabled, MacroDroid cannot be uninstalled through normal methods. To uninstall:
** Disable Device Administrator in Settings > Security > Device Administrators
** Or use the uninstall option in MacroDroid's drawer menu
* This trigger only responds to incorrect passcode entries, NOT fingerprint authentication failures.
* The trigger specifically responds to "legal" login attempts - incomplete entries (like a 3-digit PIN when 4 digits are required) will not trigger.
* Time periods available: 60 seconds (1 min), 120 seconds (2 min), 300 seconds (5 min), 600 seconds (10 min), 1800 seconds (30 min), 3600 seconds (1 hour).
