So after two minutes I rebooted my desktop and made sure I entered my password correctly.

I see this behaviour on an BE from 28th Nov

$ ssh admin at con3
(admin at con3) Password: 
Received disconnect from 172.16.xx.xx port 22:2: Too many authentication failures
Disconnected from 172.16.xx.xx port 22


but on a BE from 4th Dec it works normal with 3 attempts possible before failing finally.

Can you confirm this for mate-greeter login.
