Why is your Facebook account locked?

In order to make use of Facebook’s many features, you must first create an account. If the platform has locked your account, it is likely because it has detected malicious or suspicious activity.

If Facebook notices that you’ve been engaging in unusual behavior that’s out of character for you, you may find yourself temporarily or permanently locked out of your account. Because of the unusual number of failed login attempts, Facebook has temporarily disabled your account.

It is, therefore, vital that you comprehend the factors that led to your account being locked and the necessity of providing proof of your identity. The following are examples of actions that may result in account suspension:

1.Attempts to log in from a wide variety of devices are unusually frequent.

2.There have been too many simultaneous login attempts from multiple locations. Using a virtual private network (VPN) to access Facebook can lead to this.

3.Multiple users access the same device from their respective accounts.

4. Sending an excessive number of friend requests or messages in a short period of time is considered spamming.

If you engage in any of these behaviors, you will have your account immediately disabled. That being said, if you are being asked for identification verification, it is probably for one of the aforementioned causes.
