Temporarly suspended
On one of my email addresses I sometimes get this “Your account has been locked”
“We’ve detected some activity that violates our Microsoft Services Agreement and have locked your account.”
I can always log in fine but then I reply to an email and every so often it doesn’t send and asks me to press a link, which opens a blank page. But now I know I need to log out and try to log back in again and it says Your account has been locked. I need to put in a mobile number and it unlocks it. But lately it has been saying “Something went wrong” or the “Service under maintenance” now it’s not accepting my phone number and I tried another phone number and that didn’t work either. I hope by tomorrow it will work again.
There is no reason why the account should be getting suspended, none of my other Microsoft accounts have ever been suspended and with this account that does get suspended I am only talking to one person via email about every day things, I receive no spam emails and my password is very very strong random letters/numbers/special. I put my email in “Have I been pwned” but nothing there. I guess the only thing it could be is someone using my email address to send spam without having access to my account, just using it for the from field. But I never receive any postmaster undeliverable emails or anything. The person I email uses Protonmail, I once had my email come back to me as it was flagged as spam by protonmail but it was just too long in length, so I cut out some of the old replies and resent it OK.
I don’t know why this account keeps getting locked? I don’t use a VPN with it or anything.
