I was looking into unlocking my login after too many incorrect password attempts. I found [this post](https://superuser.com/a/1597163) about it. Doing `faillock -user $(whoami) --reset` did indeed unlock the login.
However, what exactly is the output of `faillock` and how do I interpret it?
When I ran it while I was locked out, the output was something like this:
```
$ faillock
my_username:
~~When Type Source Valid~~
~~2023-08-02 14:39:43 TTY /dev/pts/1 V~~
~~2023-08-02 14:39:44 TTY /dev/pts/1 V~~
...
```
When I run it after unlocking, there are no rows, only a header. I assume this is a list of failed login attempts, but then why is there a tick mark under `Valid`?
There is a [brief man page](https://man.archlinux.org/man/faillock.8) about this program, but it doesn't mention anything about this "valid" thing.
