Symptoms

Possible Causes
Login attempts from an unfamiliar location or device.
Multiple rapid login attempts.
Password potentially compromised in a data breach.
Legitimate activity misidentified as suspicious (travel, new device).
Resolution

Check for a notification email explaining the suspension and next steps.
Step 2
Follow the identity verification process provided, if any.
Step 3
Contact support directly if no self-service recovery option is available.
Step 4

Prevention
Use unique passwords not reused across other accounts.
Enable multi-factor authentication.
Notify your organization in advance of travel that may trigger location-based flags.
