My account is locked. (This account is locked. This account is locked and can’t be used.) Searched online and seeing more reports of this issue. As described above - All solutions suggested are just an endless loop.

If it is permanently locked, there is no solution.

In my situation it was an brand new iPhone purchased by my work. I created the apple ID later than installing the iPhone. So in my case i see no link to this are you as reason for the same error describred above. Sorry iam not english if the grammar is not correct.

Contact the IT organization responsible for your employer, and ask their assistance in resolving this.

Usual here would be an Apple ID created by your employer (or associated with your employer) for you, or one you expressly created for use with the iPhone when you installed it. The IT group will usually describe how they want you to set up the device.

Details such as mixing countries and regions and payments, and swapping Apple IDs around without following the device transition can, all cause things to get tangled.

Again, check with your employer’s IT group. If they can’t sort this, they can discuss this device with Apple Support, or with Apple Business Manager Support, depending on how IT has configured their environment.

(AppleID is not active) that is what my Apple ID is showing please Apple communicate I want my Apple ID back I can’t download anything this is my Gmail a***@gmail.com

please I need my account back to work thanks so much

There has definitely been an uptick in iCloud security lately.

I spent my Sunday afternoon, yesterday, upgrading my lad's 2019 4K iMac; replacing the fusion drive with a 1TB pcie drive and a 4TB sata SSD, plus 32GB of RAM. Going into Terminal to split the fusion drive, pulling apart the iMac were all - well not the easiest upgrade. But I did it. Then trying to log back into iCloud on the iMac - nearly had 50 fits, needed to authenticate about 3 times against an iPad and phone number (despite it being the same iMac that it had previously, a few hours before been logged in on). Way more than I have seen before. Thought I was going to get another locked account!

The old days of signing in - just with password are gone, there is always some level of authentication somewhere.

Very much a massive uptick over the last time I did something similar, 4 months ago.

However that still doesn't explain why many users have lost the ability to even reset locked accounts over the last few weeks. A little over officious.

Hopefully there is a fix sometime.

Please my account was locked I have no access to my iCloud anymore please it’s not active just help me out my account is: m***gmai.com please I want it back 😭😪😢 I’m not just happy since yesterday all my body was shivering 🥶 please help me apple support

Hello Fernado,

I´m actually having exactly the same issue, but my problem is even worst because I already uploaded apps by using my "locked" account and they remain active in apple store, So I had to use another account, different apple ID, and for sure I can upload my apps from this new account, but I´m sure apple will not allow it because it will find that the logo, name, and shape already exists (the ones with my locked account), so this is so frustrating. Did you manage to solve your issue? please share, I will appreciate it.

I’m experiencing the same issue, my Apple account is locked.

In my case, I don't mind losing the account, but it’s logged into my Apple Vision Pro, and I have no idea how to remove the account from this device to add a new one.

Same here.

I had this account just for listen to music and had done nothing else with this account.

Soddenly its locked and after my unlock request had this email from apple support (noreplay email):

We’ve reviewed your request, and access to your account (accountID) has been denied.

Its nonsense.
