10 attempts at deleting Vault. What happens when I use all 10 of them?

When I purposely typed the wrong password for deleting vault, it said I had 9 attempts left? What happens when I use all of them?

Hi Maldroid, I hope you're doing well! 

 

Essentially, if you use the wrong password 10 times, you’ll be locked out of your Vault. If you’re locked out, you can contact support to reset your pin.

 

You can see more about this here.

 

I hope this clarifies!
