Write an explanation for the correct answers for items 1 - 3.

SCENARIO: Adriana is creating a point-of-sale (cash register) application for Fourth Coffee. Her responsibility is to create a password-protected login system to ensure security of the system. She has finished the login window and password check, but she is having trouble implementing it correctly.

Adriana’s project manager wants the system to give the user three attempts to login correctly before locking the system. In Adriana’s most recent version, the system prompts the user for a name and password three times—even if the user correctly logs in on the fi rst try. After the third attempt, the system always locks—even if the input is correct.
