A quick Google search returns tons of results from ProtonMail's subreddit of people complaining that ProtonMail locked them out of their account for unknown random reasons.
This is a curated subreddit.
- highwaylights 4y agoThanks for posting this, honestly I was unaware this had been happening as widely to others. Wild.
- sierkov 4y agoThe post you've linked doesn't say that it was some unknown/random reason just the fact that the person is locked out of the account, not that the account itself is locked, which may be for variety of reasons(losing 2FA, forgetting password, else?). It's more about that support is slow. The person reached out and the issue was eventually resolved.
- arinlen 4y ago> The post you've linked doesn't say that it was some unknown/random reason just the fact that the person is locked out of the account, (...) Fair enough. You can google though. There's a wealth of complains of people seeing their accounts locked. If you don't have time to run a Google search, you are free to read ProtonMail's own docs, specially how they describe how they lock accounts based on heuristics and how they recognize the occurrence of false positives. https://proton.me/support/account-disabled https://proton.me/support/account-disabled
