Yahoo Messenger Not Working? Your ID Might Be Blocked!

SHARE:

Yahoo Messenger chat window

I believe I'm not the only one who received a weird message when trying to login into the Yahoo account. But when it says that my account was blocked for security reasons, it might be
something serious. You should know that if your account is suspended for this reason, you're not able to use any Yahoo product that requires authentication. However, we're all curios to know the reasons for the suspension and how long it will require until we are able to use the account. According to the Sunnyvale company Yahoo, every suspension of the account expires after 12 hours since it was started so all you need to do is to... wait. Quite a problem if we think that you might want to access very important information stored in your account.

What's more important is that the Yahoo account restriction can be applied when the parent company discovers that somebody, no matter it was you or other user, tried to login for multiple times but he typed a wrong password. Well, that should be a problem if we think that some users can abuse of this restriction and might exploit it just to lock somebody's account.

"If you receive a message stating that your account has been locked for security reasons, this means that there have been too many attempts to sign in to your account with the incorrect password. As a security measure, your account has been locked to prevent unauthorized users from being able to access it," Yahoo explains.

"The lock on your account will expire 12 hours after it was initially locked-the lockout period will not reset each time you attempt to sign in while the account is still locked. You can try to sign in again after the lock has expired. We are unable to provide you with the exact time that your account was locked or when it will be unlocked."

Obviously, there's not much to do to avoid this problem so, if you encounter this suspension, please keep in mind that somebody tried to login into your account but he didn't guess the password.

Comment #64 by: shebathecollie on 22 Mar 2011, 14:30 UTC reply to this comment

I have had this ID for several years and you have no right to block my access to my email account. I think the solution is to get rid ofr Yahoo because there have been several problems like this. It happens when someone is working on the phone lines and then the computer is unable to start the email address.

Comment #78 by: TheCreep on 07 Aug 2011, 05:18 UTC reply to this comment

This is a very easy but an awesome Trick. When you or someone else enters an incorrect login multiple times then Yahoo! locks the account for “security reasons” and you are unable to access your chat names. Cool thing is that, these are a piece of cake to unlock.

All you need is a list of Yahoo servers to log in with. Every time you login, you are using what’s called a server to access yahoo. You login with a cookie, which is sort of like an information packet or ID proving that you are who you claim to be, and the account is yours.

When people attempt to log your name in multiple times with a locking tool, all they are doing is logging in over and over with an incorrect password until your cookie expires, which means you will no longer be allowed to login. So, when you find yourself locked, what you need to do is refresh your cookie. But how can you do that when the yahoo server you were using has blocked you?

Simple, find another server. Yahoo has servers all over the place. There are more than I’d care to count. I’ll include a pretty decent sized list with this tutorials. All you have to do is paste one of these servers in your browser and log in on the page you see. Unless you have been locked on that server as well, you will receive a fresh cookie and will be able to log in to messenger again.

Tons of people try to go through their email and login there to unlock an account, but a smart locker will shut down your mail server first, then cut off your chat server. Most people don’t know what to do if the email is blocked, so they give up trying. That’s why I don’t even bother with the email method. I simply pick another server, log in, and I’m good to go. There are so many servers out there that it is impossible to lock them all. Even if they could, the lock is only for about 12 hours, and then you’re back in business.

my concern is people out there are locking our yahoo accounts and taking our captcha to keep us out of chat rooms. this needs to be looked into by yahoo. must be a program these people have found to do ban us with. i am sure yahoo can find the persons doing this and put a stop to it or be able to tell us how to get our captcha back

Comment #86 by: dragunovs on 07 Sep 2011, 13:47 UTC reply to this comment

It passed 12 hour and my ID still blocked. I also written to Yahoo! customer care and the good point they had responded within 24 hour. They gave me some explanations about TOS etc, in the end the conclusion my ID terminated for good, suck! I lost some of my chat mates IDs, some I remember their IDs so I can add them with my other ID. Well the freak who wanted my ID to terminated win.

Hey guys this the solution here : Yahoo! usually will lock and account when someone enters an incorrect password for multiple times. Every time you login, you are login with cookie. When you attempt to log in your account for multiple times, Yahoo! logging with an incorrect password until your cookie expires. Thus, you will no longer allowed to login.

To unblock your account:
1. Search other Yahoo! servers and you will get fresh cookie.
2. Copy and paste the link below into your URL bar.
3. Login with the new server.

Comment #117 by: Mau E on 19 Feb 2012, 01:27 UTC reply to this comment

I have tried everything possible to unlock my id yahoo account but I have reached the stage wherein there is no more possible way for me to unlock it. Here, in the Philippines, we can probably proved our identity legally by way of sworn statement/affidavit duly notarized by a lawyer duly authorized to administer oaths. I wonder why Yahoo has no other alternative legally instead of asking yahoo users to type security codes correctly and provide answers to all their questions which are invalidated anmd later locked the yahoo account. I have not recorded my info profile background when I opened my yahoo account and I can't provide them correct answers to their questions to unlock my yahoo account. I have important ebay file and paid subscriptions which prompted me to retrieve my yahoo account. I WISH YAHOO MAY ACCEPT OTHER LEGAL ALTERNATIVES FOR ME TO COMPLY LEGALLY TO PROVE THAT I AM THE OWNER OF THE YAHOO ID/PASSWORD NIN ORDER TO UNLOCK MY YAHOO. ACCOUNT. THANK YOU YAHOO.
