My Apple ID keeps getting logged out and sometimes locked. I've changed my password. Still keeps happening. My iMessage doesn't get a lot of texts because of this. I have to unlock my account more times than I can count. It's been going on for years. Ever since iTools days I swear.
Mac mini, macOS 10.13
This can be caused by someone trying to hack your Apple ID by guessing passwords. If that’s it about the only way around it is to enable 2 factor authentication on your account if you don’t already have it.

Useless reply. Of course I unlock my account everytime it happens. I'v ehad this Apple ID for almost 20 years. I gave up changing my password because this has been going on for years. It's just the last few months it started happening almost everyday. To ask me to change my password means then I have to change it on my new m1 mini, my MacBook Pro, my 3 old mac mins, my MacPro workstation, my iPhone and my iPad. This is not something I've going to do. It's happened intermittently for years it's only the last few months that it seems to happen everyday. Now with the m1 I noticed it locks me out of my computer....that can't happen. This security is onerous and only in place to protect Apple's liability.
