Incorrect "locked account" message
« Topic Start: December 28, 2011, 03:29:30 PM »
I log in to BM from various different devices in various different places, resulting in me getting a lot of "Failed access" and "session couldn't be registered" messages. Today, though, when I refreshed a day-old BM window on my phone, the page it took me to told me my account had been locked. My first reaction was something along the lines of, "Wtf?! What did I do to get locked?" But when I clicked on the login page and logged into my account, there was nothing wrong and I could access my characters normally. No lock.

What went wrong? How did I end up on the locked account page when I hadn't actually been locked?

From the description, it's really hard to tell.

This happens when certain things happen you try to access certain pages -- usually character specific -- with a strange to your user session (namely: null user session).

(I got bored one day and tried to break things.)

Yeah I've seen it happen a few times when my session has timed out and I've tried to click on a character play link from the user page.
