I will put on my CISSP hat and add ONE small caveat. If the device itself is not password protected, this isn't entirely accurate. Assuming the device is not password-protected, it would be possible to make a backup, try ten times, restore from backup, try ten more times, lather rinse and repeat.
It's good practice anyway to use a device password, reasonably short timeout, and lock on holstering. Combined with the security layered in with the ability to limit the number of password attempts in password manager down to ONE, it's quite secure.
