1. Explanation of reasons for locking
With the upgrade of Microsoft's email security mechanism, accounts are not bound to secure mobile phones, remote/abnormal IP logins, and frequent logins will trigger account locking. Follow the following steps to self-unlock.
2. Complete unlocking steps
- The "Account has been locked" prompt pops up on the login page, and click [Next].
- Enter the available mobile phone number and click [Send Code].
- Fill in the Captcha of the SMS received on your mobile phone, and click [Submit].
- The SMS verification has passed, unlock and intercept, and click [Continue].
- The page requires additional security information and filling in the available mobile phone number or alternate mailbox.
- Enter the Captcha received by this channel, and click [Next].
- Enter the last 4 digits of the mobile phone number and click Send Captcha again.
- Fill in the Captcha of the newly received SMS and click [Next].
- A confirmation pop-up window pops up and click [Yes] to complete the security binding.
- After the unlocking is completed, the fifth email in the mailbox is generally the confirmation Captcha of the Twitter platform, which can be directly accessed.
3. Precautions for use
- It is recommended to use an overseas mobile phone number that can receive text messages for unlocking. There is a high probability that domestic mobile phone numbers will not receive verified text messages.
- After unlocking, be sure to keep the mobile phone number/alternate mailbox you bound this time, and you can quickly verify it after locking it again.
- Do not switch IPs frequently or log out frequently after unlocking is completed to avoid triggering security lock again.
- If you can't receive the Captcha multiple times, change to a clean network and traceless browser and try again.
