Currently if Windows does not recognise my fingerprint 3 times, fingerprint gets disabled and PIN becomes required.

Fingerprint sensor normally works well, but when my finger is wet (after washing my hands), it usually fails to recognise my fingerprint. 3 times is too small.Can I increase the number of allowed trials, for example to 10 times?

According to the following source this is not possible:

No, you can not set this number of attempts in Windows 10. The fingerprint recognition is a part of the Windows Hello sign in options and has been hard coded into the loginui.exe process, while it is more convenient and more secure than typing a traditional passwords. For security, it is not possible to change the block settings in Windows Hello.
