When should I contact support about a lockout?

Most lockouts clear on their own or can be fixed by resetting your password, so it's worth trying the self-serve steps first. See I've been locked out — what does it mean and how do I fix it?

This article covers the few situations where you should contact support instead.

When to contact support

Get in touch with support if any of the following apply:

  • You're still locked out with the correct password. You've waited for the lockout to expire and reset your password, but a legitimate account still can't log in.

  • You suspect malicious access attempts. There are clear signs someone is trying to break into an account (for example, repeated lockouts you can't account for).

  • You need the lockout duration adjusted. This can only be changed by support.

Note: Support can manually unlock an account, but this is reserved for genuine cases where a user faces repeated lockouts despite correct login attempts. If you're simply waiting out a normal lockout, it will clear on its own — see I've been locked out — what does it mean and how do I fix it?
