When such an incident happens, Google shows the following message to inform you about account suspension:
Can you Quickly Unblock Your Locked Down Google Account?
Well, as the message says, the suspension is temporary. You just have to wait until Google decides to unblock your account.This may take a few minutes and probably few hours. So, just wait! There is no other way to regain access. While you wait, you may be wondering what might have caused account suspension. Because Google is a fully automated system, it all depends on what Google’s algorithm marked as “unusual activity”. Some of the possibilities are:
You sent a lot of emails that bounced back. Using IMAP and POP you tried to send, download or delete lot of emails using a third-party software. You might have tried to login from many different locations. Google may assume that different people are trying to access your account. Too many failed login attempts. In this case, Google will assume that somebody is trying to hack your account. You might be using the same Google account on many devices. Nowadays, it is common to use Google account on computer, mobile phone and tablet. But if you use the same account on more devices, it may send an unusual activity signal.
If you take care of the above mentioned issues, it is highly unlikely that your Google account will be locked down. We would also like to reiterate the usual advice that you should use a strong password and keep changing it every now and then. Are you facing the account locked down problem?
