Linux authentication

On linux systems the password fail delay ie. password authentication is managed by either shadow or PAM.

Completely disabling the fail delay

As of the 2020 release of PAM 1.5.1 the delay can be directly disabled by adding nodelay to /etc/security/faillock.config

Completely disabling the fail delay (old method)

Separately append the nodelay parameter to each auth ... pam_faillock.so line within your /etc/pam.d/ configuration files such as system-auth or common-auth, and the other relevant pam files such as sudo, su and su-l. See below example.
