Issue/Question
- Your Account is Blocked in Office 365
- Student blocked from Microsoft sign in
Resolution
The Microsoft login system looks for risky behavior and will block an account if it believes that the account is compromised to protect the account from unauthorized access. If you receive the “Your Account is Blocked” due to suspicious activity on the account, please reset the password to something else immediately. Resetting the password will reset the risky user score after about take 3-4 minutes.
To prevent your account’s password from being compromised, please pick a unique password that is not shared with multiple services, do not share your password with anyone, and be cautious and look for phishing emails that try to steal your credentials.
