Pre-requisites

I have looked for any other duplicate issues
I have confirmed the requested feature doesn't exist in the latest version in development

Wanted behavior

I would like for the ability to disable the auth_fails animation. I had set it to zero in my config, assuming that this will disable it, but it only led me to an hour-long debugging session figuring out what was wrong with my config (since I had changed a lot of things around). Turns out, setting auth_fails to zero just makes it so that the animation is always played, even on startup.

I don't want to deal with the prospect of having this animation especially since I mistype my password quite a lot. I could just set it to a very high value, but still.

Please consider adding a check such that when auth_fails is zero, the animation is never played.

@atraphaxia Is there an issue about setting it to a very high value?

Yes, I could just set it to a very high value, but setting it to zero makes "more sense".

The animation_timeout_sec option also uses this logic; you could just set the value to 2e12 which is practically forever, but zero makes it so that it runs actually forever.

That's true. You convinced me, haha!
