The frequency can be adjusted to avoid the scanner from setting the password on each scan (this action is to ensure that the password remains the same as stored in Privilege Secure). This boosts the speed of scanning, suitable in very large organizations.

Addendum​

The alternate administrator OAM account created by Privilege Secure is a local account. Privilege Secure does not use the account to log into the system. Privilege Secure does not have the ability to lock the OAM account. Typically, any local account is either locked by an Administrator OR exceeded the threshold for failed login attempts. 
If the system can no longer be access via a domain account because the system lost trust or left the domain, and the alternate administrator OAM account is locked, windows Safe Mode can be used to login with the disabled Administrator (RID 500) account.
