My Account Was Locked — 3 Hrs Later & It No Longer Is

I went to log in to Discussions. It said this account is locked for security purposes.


I logged in 3 hours later and it’s unlocked?


Why was it unlocked, without my permission?



MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.14

We would not have any idea how/why Apple does anything on this site. Apple has always been very close-lipped about any of their policies and would certainly not share any info about a user's account or privileges. FWIW, Apple can make their own rules since they own and run this site and do not need anyone's permission.
