Locked account

For the past two months, apple keeps locking my account, forcing me log in. Then they unlock my account. NOW IT IS EVERY OTHER DAY! I have 6 apple products, 5 that NEVER leave my home and the other is my phone. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? I need you to just stop locking my account. I use my phone for traveling and I do not HAVE email on it. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT BIG FAT PAIN THIS IS?? I am about to flush all these apple products. If you are doing this so that I will go to the apple web site and maybe buy more, think again. This scandemic has everyone's bank accounts in the RED. I am not changing my password!! You also make me choose a device...well it is EVERY Apple product!

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 14

Someone may be trying to access your account and is entering the wrong password too many times. You can also add 2 Factor Authentication to your account for more security. If the attempts continue, you might want to consider a name change.
