Common Reasons for Account Lockout
- Incorrect login attempts: If you've entered the wrong password multiple times, your account may be locked out as a security measure.
- Suspicious activity: Yahoo may lock out your account if they detect suspicious activity, such as multiple login attempts from different locations.
- Account compromise: If your account has been compromised by a hacker, Yahoo may lock it out to prevent further unauthorized access.
Remember to always keep your account information and login credentials secure to prevent unauthorized access and account lockouts.
