# Disabling brute force protection

A brute force attack is a method used by cybercriminals to guess your password by trial and error and gain access to your account. Anaconda protects your organization against such attacks by enabling the brute force protection setting within Keycloak by default. To disable brute force protection:

1. [Log in to the Keycloak administrative console](./user_roles#accessing-the-keycloak-administrative-console).
2. Select **Realm Settings** from the left-hand navigation menu.
3. Select the **Security Defenses** tab.
4. Select the **Brute Force Detection** tab.
5. Toggle **Enabled** to `OFF`.
6. Click **Save**.
