Cached Credentials
Many programs cache credentials, keep active threads in use, and do not
update the credentials after a password has been changed.
Account Lockout Threshold Policy Setting
The Account lockout threshold policy setting may be set too low. the
recommended minimum value for this security policy setting is 10. This is
explained in detail in #CALS: Step 1 of the "Step-by-Step Troubleshooting"
section later in this article.
Concurrent Logons to Multiple Computers
A user is concurrently logged on to multiple computers. Threads of network
programs that are running on those computers may run in the context of that
locally logged on user when the user accesses resources in the domain. If
this user changes their password on one of the computers, programs that are
running on the other computers continue to use the original password. As
those programs access network resources and authenticate, the old password
is used, and the user's account becomes locked.
