My accounts just got locked

[Wokomehee]

...due to "suspicious acitivity" my accounts have been locked. I have done nothing wrong, so i dont know why this happened. Im not home until tonight or tomorrow, so i guess i have to w8 until im home and can call them.

i got a new pc recently and this was happening to me. I had been logging in the game from other places before my PC got here. They said the new place/PC was throwing up a flag. It was a bit of a pain, but i just made a ticket at bnet support and it stooped locking me out. ( it had been locking me anytime i logged more than one account in at a time or back to back )

Thanks =)
...i still dont know why it happened, but i did log into the game from my laptop at the cabin this weekend. I have done this several times in the past tho... the only reason i got from blizz was that it had been unusual activity on my b-net account.

Anyway, im home and i got an e-mail from Blizz that made it possible to make a new pass, and now i have the accounts back! =)

It's because you are logging in from an IP that is not your normal one. It has happened to me a few time when I travel for work. It doesn't always happen. It just requires a password reset which is no big deal. Annoying, but better to be safe.

I get this when used to use my French VPN. I now have a UK one.

If it happens a lot, you can contact blizz and they can whitelist your account to stop it from happening.

While it can be an annoyance at times, I'd rather Blizz be a little too diligent with account security and such... than say not diligent enough.

Good to read that it's all sorted. Hacking sucks
