Unusual Usage - Account Temporarily Locked Down

I am locked out of my account.
I am just a average user. I don't have heavy usage, nor sync, nor the other things mentioned. My other gmail accounts are working.

hello, i don't think that this is something we in the firefox support forum could solve, though as with all website-related problems you can try to [[Clear the cache - Delete temporary Internet files to fix common website issues|clear the cache]] & [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer|cookies from google.com]] and see if this changes anything.
otherwise please refer to google's support: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/43692

Facebook account temporarily locked

Hello, Yesterday my friend has logged into his facebook account from my BB-8520 curve. Later on when I tried to sign in to my account, it reads your facebook account has been temporarily locked. Then I tried it from PC, it asked me to change my password and I did it. Today I tried again to logged into my Facebook account from my blackberry with the new password. The same message it shows: 'Your facebook account has been locked temporarily.' Can anyone please let me know the solution ?

The issue you are facing is as a result of the IP you are using in accessing your fb account. If fb notices a new IP accessing your account, they might temporarily lock your account pending when you verify it. If you'd like to know more on this case study

Gmail locked down

My gmail account is locked down due to "unusual activity". What can be done?

Your mail account has almost certainly been hacked on the server, not on your computer, unless someone has had access to the latter.
Log in to the mail server's web interface and change the password. If you use the same password for anything else, change those passwords too, and make them all different. Internet passwords should be random strings of at least 10 characters. You most likely don't need to, and should not be able to, remember them. They should be saved in your keychain and backed up with the rest of your data.
One way to generate a secure password is the following. Triple-click anywhere the line below on this page to select it:
openssl rand -base64 10 | cut -c-14 | pbcopy
Copy the selected line to the clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Launch the built-in Terminal application and paste into the window that opens (command-V). A string of 14 random characters will be copied to the Clipboard. Use that string, or a substring, as the password. To generate another random string, press the up-arrow key and then the return key with the Terminal window active. You can then quit Terminal.
If the compromised account is on Gmail, then changing the password may not be enough. Follow all of Google'sinstructions to secure it.

is this a sting to try and get my credit card detail????? OR is it for real???
thank you!!!

It's a phishing attempt to try and get your account and payment details, iTunes accounts don't get 'suspended' or 'locked'. Emails from iTunes/Apple tend to be personalised (e.g. have your name after 'dear', not just 'dear customer') and they are written in proper English.
You could forward the email to Apple : [email protected]

Are messages saying my account is temporarily locked genuine from Apple support

I keep receiving multiple messages saying my Apple account is temporarily locked and asking me to click to verify my account. Are these genuinely from Apple?

No. Forward them to [email protected] and then delete them.

Locking down settings of an user account?

Locking down settings of an user account?
I have an IMac with 2 user accounts and a guest account.
1 user account is the administrator account.
The second user account is to be used by many people.
How can I lock down settings for this account? Parental controls are insufisient, for instance: the settings for Safari can still be changed (default homepage etc)
Also when connecting to the wireless network, the user is required to login with his own credentials, in this login window there is the username and password boxes and a "remember this login" checkbox, how can I set this checkbox as off by default? (and maybe grayed out so it can't be turned on).

Hmmm, when a Guest logs out that info should be gone...
... the nice thing is that all traces of the person being there are erased after they log off. (At least that’s what Apple claims — there could be some caches left over if you look deep.)

Would like to know how to Completely Lock-down Windows 7 OS

I don't have a general question..
It's more like specifics about how to lock down windows 7 computers..
Here's a little background information...
I have two computers, both with win 7(Pro, and home prem).
A family member can somehow bypass all bios and all windows security services... Everytime I go to work or school, he will power on my desktop and somehow 'hack' into the OS and install keyloggers or viruses so he can obtain my banking or other personal information.
He also unlocks and deletes all the passwords so he can have access whenever he wants..
Can someone please tell me how to do a complete lockdown? This is getting extremely annoying.. I've done everything that I can do; Also considering on switching my major to some sort of computer security. I'm starting to lose my mind over these months.. All
help is appreciated.
I've password protected BIOS
I've disabled administrator accounts, i've put password on the admin and the guest user; locked the option to change passwords..
All help is appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

Hi,
If you are using Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, or Enterprise, you can use the Local Group Policy Editor to change policies that affect the security of your computer. Please check if the following policies meet you requirements.
[User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer]
Enable these two polices:
Prevent access to drives from My Computer
Hide these specified drives in My Computer
For your reference:
Lock Down PCs with Windows 7:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/gg983426.aspx
Also, restrict Which Programs a User Can Run. You can set rules in AppLocker in the Group Policy Editor that prevents all programs from being run.
In addition, temporarily Lock Your Computer if Someone Tries to Guess Your Password
If you share your computer with other family members or allow your friends to use it, you should have a password on your Windows account so no one else can log into it. However, someone may try to guess your password and log into your account. If this happens,
you can temporarily lock your computer.
You should also periodically change your password.
If you suspect, you family member using a tool to bypass your password. You may use Malicious Software Removal Tool (http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/malware-removal.aspx)
to remove it.
Hope it helps.

How do I lock down an iPad from having certain apps removed?

Hello,
We are a Microsoft-based enterprise that has purchased iPad 2 devices as a means of reducing costs of wireless services as well as integration with the 3G adapter (to reduce damage and theft). While I have had great success with the iPhone Configuration Utility and an MDM server, I need to ensure that users cannot remove the Find My iPad App which we use to track employees and ensure they do not lose or steal the device (since they can't remove the battery).
What can I do to lock down this app from being removed and also, I want to give these employees access to load whatever they wish on these iPad units. We control their access through a VPN to a Microsoft Terminal Server and with Microsoft Exchange but I don't want iTunes and the CEO's credit card being used to purchase apps. Any ideas anyone? I know that this can be done and if not, it will be done by me.

I'm not sure about the apps, but to prevent theft, you'll also need to disable the power button and the ability to restore the ipad. You might also want to superglue in your Sim card because if they remove that, it wont be tracked unless they connect to WiFi.
Also, I'm not so sure it is an app on the iPad. I think it is built into the mail, calendar and contacts options if you have a Mobile me account. http://www.apple.com/ipad/find-my-ipad-setup/

Mavericks Temporarily Locks my Cursor - especially in Safari & Mail.

I have a 2009 Macbook Pro Unibody 17"
3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 Gb Memory.
Everything was running fine - However, because I tended to have issues with Wireless Internet - thought the New upgrade would be better.
So, I did it - Upgraded to Mac Os 10.9.4.
Since then, I have had many issues - The worst is the temporarily locking the cursor. If I am in Safari and want to type in a new URL - I can move my cursor there - but will not let me type. I cannot open a new tab - fill in a form- or quit the app. I cannot copy a url or any other text - cannot do bookmarks - or even open my book marks - I do not get an error message and the App does not crash....THEN a few seconds go by and like magic - i can move the cursor and click happily away, How often does it happen? Every few minutes.
I thought it coincided with the Automatic Notifications - so I turned that off (do not Disturb) - but the issue is still happening.
Frustrated, I Searched on line and saw that were issues with Sanyos - So I unistalled that today. Still have the same issue happens.
I am not a heavy app user - primarily Safari and Mail. I do not have more than 5 web sites open at once - and those are not large multimedia sites.
Can anyone shed some light on what is happening and how to repair?
Is anyone else having these issues?
Thank you in advance for any insight and assisatance

Hi Linc,
So I cleared the Console log and waited for the problem to happen again. I was beginning to think - "wow all i had to do was clear that log and things worked smoothly again" until today - When I opened Google Docs on Safari. It was so bad It locked my computer completely and I had to force a shut down.
Now I am trying to look back at the console log to grab the data which could be helpful.
I know I was on my computer yesterday from 8am-9am and again at about 130pm -till about 3:30 then put it to sleep until about 8pm. I opened Google Docs approximately 10pm had to force quit computer around 11:15pm - If you tell me what to look for I will - Or other things that may help...
Right Now -My computer is now running extremely HOT - at 430am...
Here are things I see on console - but may not be relevant:
When I look at the Data - I see tons ( And I Mean TONS) of this line: ( I mean every few seconds- IS that normal? )

I want to know the questions and protection for my account because my account is locked I can not buy please help

The page that you posted from tells you how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should let you reset them.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

Can we lock down user admin functionality to allow password changes only?

Hi,
Is it possible to lock down the user admin functionality so a specific role can only change passwords?
We have a large user base of >10K infrequent users that are forced to change their passwords every 30 days. We suspect a lot will require password changes and we are keen to not have the tech team spending most of their time dealing with such requests. We would like to pass this task onto data management but not allow them the system administrator functionality.
We know we can create a responsibility with a limited menu available so the operator can see only the security/user/define menu. But this will still allow the person to add responsibilities to existing user accounts and create new user accounts, both of which are deemed unacceptable security risks. Is it possible to lock down the form as well as the menu? Allowing operators to only change the password of existing users? Or can we use the custom.pll to error when a user tries to do anything except edit the password field when in this role?
Thanks
Matt

You should be able to do that. You would create a new privilege level (ie 7), assign all commands to that level except (this is my guess) the command vpn-sessiondb, you would put that at a lower privilege level (ie 6). Here's a write-up that may help getting you in the right direction.

Locking down Win 8.1

For security reasons, i need to investigate how to lock down windows 8.1 so that the user is restricted to the desktop only and only has access to a
certain few applications.
These PC's are in a domain and are used for either Accounting or POS.
The software is what it is and changing the software is not an option.
Right now, the users log into XP machines. The desired programs auto-load and all is well.
As of April 1st, the XP POS machines will no longer be PCI compliant. We prefer to step up to win 8.1 stations, but locking them down via group policy is proving to be difficult.
We don't want third party tools.
Certainly this must be achievable via group policy.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Locking down anyconnect client profile

I was wondering if there is a way to lock down the anyconnect profile on a clients machine. Basically we are using certifcates to authenticate so the client can make a VPN connection. We have enabled the certifcate match function to check for IPSec User Extended Match Key. I can modify the XML on the client PC to bypass the check and authenticate. We would like to keep users from doing that. Is there something I can setup on the ASA versus the client to check the certificate or prevent the XML from being modified?
Thanks in advance.

I went in and modified the xml and removed the following. I was then able to make a connection without checking for the IPSecUser extended key usage. I have 2 certs on my client. One cert has the IPSecUser extended key usage and the other does not.

OD Accounts keep locking

Hello
We have 10.4.8 Server setup with Open Directory and XSan 1.4 for home directories, but have some strange problems with user accounts locking at random intervals, we thought this was down to user error but seems more then that, we have to enable the account again then reset the password for users to be able to log in again.
We have a policy in OD of 4 attempts to enter the correct password or accounts become locked. Our client macs are setup with 10.4.8 and latest security updates.
Its more of a problem when night classes are held as we are not available to reset passwords and staff have no way of resetting them for students as we cannot lock workgroup manager down to just let them enable accounts and change passwords.
Hope someone can help please!!
Thanks.
Regards.

Hello everyone,
We have a weird locked account issue in our domain. The user accounts keeps on locking daily, sometimes even a few times a day and sometimes it works for a week or two. The user does not even have to log on for the account to lock, it sometimes locks just by starting their (Win 7 x32) laptop.
We have done a trace on the locking and it does come from their laptop and not any other source, however the logs provide no real clues as of why it locks.
Any ideas? They have no saved credentials of any kind, and I find it weird that it locks even before they log on.
Cheers
