    Neopets locking out of accounts?

    Right now I was moving between my (legit) accounts and am suddenly finding that I cannot log into any of them even when I have, definitely and certainly, the right passwords. Pretty sure my account is not being hijacked or anything, especially because this is happening to all the accounts I try to log into, whether they share an email or not. Is this happening to anyone else?

    I've been having a few issues like this as well. Reset passwords, accounts frozen instantly after logging in (from dirty proxies I would presume).

    NetDragon isn't fucking around, props to them

    I don't know but I think this must be something else -- I'm not even on a VPN and I was just playing legitimately on my accounts. It seems like creating an account isn't working for me either. These are all accounts I created myself. With the annoying logged-in requirement for viewing user profiles I can't even tell if my accounts have been frozen or not... ( I hope not!)

    Edit:

    Also, I was playing just fine for a while before this. I'm really confused.
    Edit again: I think it's an IP ban for no reason, my accounts are fine from different networks. Odd but not unheard of. I can work around it for now...

    @(you need an account to see links) it happened to me a couple of times, not sure what triggers it, in my case I think it was me typing the wrong password a few times by accident. It should solve itself in a few hours.

    This happened to me a few weeks ago after guessing the wrong password on one account several times. I got IP banned for a few hours and was fine after that.

    This happened to a friend. For some reason, he couldn't log in via Wifi, but could on his phone.

    Happens to me a lot

    Give it a few hours to a day and you'll be fine.

    Awesome, thanks for the feedback guys! Yep, today I'm not having any trouble.

    Also, it was just the same for me, @(you need an account to see links) ! Couldn't login on computer but phone was fine.

    Yeh there's a set amount of attempts before it locks out an IP. I never bothered to figure out how many it is exactly but i figured it out looking thru lists. You could successfully login to 50 accounts frequently or guess 5 accounts passwords wrong 10 times for example it doesn't matter it'll lock you out.

    Is it possible to file a resolution through Neopets support? Have you gotten your account back?
