Apple locks accounts for several reasons. In most cases, there are concerns about your account safety and security. You will get one of the following messages:


“This Apple ID is disabled for security reasons”

“You can’t sign in because your account was disabled for security reasons”

“This Apple ID has been locked for security reasons”


While this all sounds very serious, a simple Apple ID password reset most of the time solves this issue. Make sure to change your password once In a while and turn 2 factor authentication on if you haven’t done that already to make and keep your Apple ID as safe as possible.
