Apple users are being locked out of their Apple IDs with no explanation

There appears to be an increasingly widespread Apple ID outage of some sort impacting users tonight. A number of people on social media say that they were logged out of their Apple ID across multiple devices on Friday evening and forced to reset their password before logging back in…

you can always get locked out or banned for no reason/stupid reason

It locked my ID. I successfully unlocked it, but then it asked for my security questions to log in, and I must've forgotten those. I tried to reset them, but got a weird error ("not enough info to reset"). Apple Support was unhelpful, just told me to try again the next day (yesterday), which didn't work, and otherwise said I'd just have to create a new Apple ID.

I_Miss_Daniel,

I wonder if it’s related to the AI naughty bits ban. Certainly sounds like a cock up…

LodeMike,

Google will straight up not let you log in sometimes.

dept,

It can be permanent especially with password recovery

LodeMike,

If you’re logging in via Tor, it does it all the time.
