Configure the delay, in milliseconds, that a user must wait before submitting a new password reset request.
A bad actor could attempt to brute force login credentials by using automation tools like bots which the reset password verification delay property helps defend against. The property value represents the
delay, in milliseconds, that a user must wait before they can place a request to reset the password. If this property is not set to the recommended value of 1000 or more, the login is more vulnerable to brute
force attacks.
