Account Lockdown: Unusual Activity Detected
Yes, I understand what you're saying, but it seems that you could tell me the exact reason why my account was locked down. What's the big secret?
Another thing, if my account is truly locked down, how was I able to create this Blog?
This account has been locked down due to unusual account activity. It may take up to 24 hours for you to regain access.
Unusual account activity includes, but is not limited to:
- Receiving, deleting, or downloading large amounts of mail via POP in a short period of time.
- Sending a large number of undeliverable messages (messages that bounce back).
- Using file-sharing or file-storage software, browser extensions, or third party software that automatically logs in to your account.
- Leaving multiple instances of your Gmail account open.
- Browser-related issues. Please note that if you find your browser continually reloading while attempting to access your Inbox, it’s probably a browser issue, and it may be necessary to clear your browser’s cache and cookies.
Number 4 may be the most likely in my case, since I use gmail at home and at work plus I have an Android phone with gmail. I've been doing this for years and have had the droid for a couple of months. This is the first occurrence of an account lock-down of my account.
My guess is that someone made a boo-boo at google.
