Alternatively they could be pressing return after they have entered their
username to get to the password section rather than tab.

Someone is trying to break into your system.
 
If the accounts are locked out, someone is trying those user accounts and
entering the incorrect password more then 3 times.

Hello,
 
Does anyone have any ideas as to why users account would lock out for what
looks like no reason at all? We have a 3 failed attempt policy that will
lock users out but some of these users are not even failing once. I have a
few users that will log onto their workstations without any problems but
Outlook will ask for their login. I have checked the security logs but I
can't see anything out of the ordinary......
 
 
Thanks in advance
 
Paul.
