HI.....................

I believe I'm not the only one who received a weird message when trying to login into the Yahoo account. But when it says that my account was blocked for security reasons, it might be

something serious. You should know that if your account is suspended for this reason, you're not able to use any Yahoo product that requires authentication. However, we're all curios to know the reasons for the suspension and how long it will require until we are able to use the account. According to the Sunnyvale company Yahoo, every suspension of the account expires after 12 hours since it was started so all you need to do is to... wait. Quite a problem if we think that you might want to access very important information stored in your account.

What's more important is that the Yahoo account restriction can be applied when the parent company discovers that somebody, no matter it was you or other user, tried to login for multiple times but he typed a wrong password. Well, that should be a problem if we think that some users can abuse of this restriction and might exploit it just to lock somebody's account.

"If you receive a message stating that your account has been locked for security reasons, this means that there have been too many attempts to sign in to your account with the incorrect password. As a security measure, your account has been locked to prevent unauthorized users from being able to access it," Yahoo explains.

"The lock on your account will expire 12 hours after it was initially locked-the lockout period will not reset each time you attempt to sign in while the account is still locked. You can try to sign in again after the lock has expired. We are unable to provide you with the exact time that your account was locked or when it will be unlocked."

Obviously, there's not much to do to avoid this problem so, if you encounter this suspension, please keep in mind that somebody tried to login into your account but he didn't guess the password.


HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL TO YOU......

GOOD LUCK...............

This doesn't sound like you are talking to yahoo, but to someone who has installed ransomware on your system. Find someone like Geek Squad and have them look at your computer.

Locked out of yahoo account

If you suspect that someone has hacked your Yahoo! account or if you attempt to log in your account too many times with an incorrect password, Yahoo! might lock you out of your account.

After several failed login attempts, the Yahoo! security feature locks your account for a predetermined amount of time to prevent unauthorized users from accessing your account.

Unauthorized users might use your account to send unsolicited emails or intrude on your private content and emails.

Although being locked out of your Yahoo! account can be frustrating, you can gain access to your account and change your password after the lock expires.

Wait 24 hours.
Return to the Yahoo! website and click the "Sign In" link at the top of the page.


Click "I Can't Access My Account."
Select "I Forgot My Password" or "My Password Doesn't Work" from the list of options.

Click the "Next" button to proceed.
Enter your Yahoo! ID in the "My Yahoo! ID is" field.


Enter the security code in the "Enter the Code Shown" field. Click the "Next" button.
Click "I Cannot Access Any of the Above" and click the "Next" button.
Type the answers to the security questions in the appropriate fields.

You set these security quests when you created your Yahoo! Account.
Click "Next."


Enter a new password in the field and verify the password by retyping it in the field.
Click the "Next" button and Yahoo! resets your password.

The new password is effective immediately, allowing you to sign in your Yahoo! account.

Yahoo.com tells me that my password has expired. What do I need to do?

If you ever find yourself with a locked Yahoo account, it's likely due to multiple incorrect password attempts.

As a security measure, Yahoo's email and chat client servers automatically lock your account to prevent unauthorized access after there have been multiple invalid password entries.

The ID Lock security measure safeguards a Yahoo account from unauthorized users who try to access your account without permission.Cause

After multiple incorrect password entries to a Yahoo account, the server automatically sets a lock on it.
This happens because every time a Yahoo Account holder logs into his account, he's logged in with a cookie.

A cookie is an information packet that proves you are the valid account holder.
However, when a person tries to access an account with many failed attempts, the cookies expires, triggering the ID lock on the account.
24-Hour Wait

A Yahoo account holder must wait up to 24 hours before accessing the account again.
The lock on the account expires within 24 hours from the time the account was locked.

Unlock Using Another Server Since Yahoo! has many servers around the world, a user can log into his account by visiting a different Yahoo server address. (See Below.)
http://thingsaboutcomputer.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-unlock-yahoo-when-account-is.html

Copy and paste a Yahoo! server URL into the address bar of your Internet browser to access the website.
Enter the Yahoo! ID and password in their respective fields, and click on "Log in" to access your yahoo account.
Avoid Yahoo Account Locks
To prevent future Yahoo! account locks, a user should limit the number of times he tries to enter a password.

If an account holder has forgotten his password, he should use the "Forgot Passsword" feature to reset the password.

Cant get into my yahoo email to read an cant acses my password

Thank you for using FixYa
There could be a number of reasons for this problem in Yahoo.
Get out of your browser and go back in again.
Be sure you have cookies enabled in your browser.
Click on the button that says 'forgot password' and they will give you key words to gain access.
Sometimes it is a temporary glitch and may correct itself in a few hours.
Sometimes there is a security breach of some sort and they will close your account.
Go into Yahoo and search help, account, and follow the instructions.
keep in mind, the only source for gaining access to Yahoo, is Yahoo and no one else has your password unless they have stolen it.

I hope this was useful and please comment if this was helpful to you.
