If you’ve wondered, “Why is my Facebook account locked?” there are a few different reasons. You may have violated the terms of service, been the victim of phishing, or been logged out for inactivity. If so, you’ll want to use the “Report a Login Issue” form to make sure that your account is not locked for any of these reasons. Once you’ve filled out this form, Facebook will work to resolve the problem within 1 to 5 business days.
Logging out

Another common reason why your account has been locked is a breach of the site’s terms of service. When your account is locked, Facebook won’t give you the exact reason for this.

Phishing attempt
If you have recently received phishing emails from Facebook, you should be on the lookout for them.

You should always be suspicious of these emails, and never click on them.
This phishing attempt was launched via automated tools. It started with phishing links sent to friends through Messenger. It then moved on to sending more emails, convincing people to enter their login information and access their accounts. Thankfully, Facebook has taken steps to protect its users from this type of attack. But this doesn’t mean that it’s impossible to fall victim to one of these phishing attempts. So how can you keep your account safe from them?
Getting help from friends
If you’ve been locked out of Facebook, you’re not alone. Facebook has a system that prevents out-of-norm logins and locks account access. Some of these ways include sending too many friend requests, joining too many groups, violating the Terms of Service, and even being caught using an unusual IP address. However, there are ways to get help from friends when your account is locked.
First, you can ask your friends for help. Facebook is planning to allow three to five of your trusted friends to unlock your account if you lose it. You’ll need to specify a trusted friend, and they’ll receive a code through email if your account is locked. The security codes are important because hackers are likely to use them to access your personal data. Facebook is also introducing App Passwords to tighten the security of Facebook applications.
