(need improvement!!) "in a row..."

0Could you please, make this sentence sound natura( to native speakers)?02br
02br
00What I wrote: 02br
02br
00- If you enter wrong(incorrect) PIN three times in a row, it 01b00will be02b00 blocked. 02br
02br
00One more thing!02br
02br
00The original sentence was:02br
02br
00- If you enter wrong(incorrect) PIN three times01b00 in succession02b00, it 01b00is02b00 blocked. 02br
02br
00Don't you think it should be 'will be blocked' instead of 'is blocked' even though it is stating the general information?02br
02br
00Because... the blocking part will happen after entering process. It's very tricky to someone like me.. 02br
02br
00And I don't quite understand what 01b00'in succession'02b00 means here. Does that mean like, while trying to succeed in entering the PIN?02br
02br
00Thank you in advance! and by the way, it's a national holiday tomorrow here in Korea. Can you guess what it's for? ;-)0-
