AC/AP Sign in issues

So I am signing on today for the first time in over a day, and it tells me that my account is blocked due to too many attempts.
Any reason why this should happen? I know I have the right password. (I don't use award wallet as mentioned in another thread - just tripit and have been for a few years with no issue).

No issues for me today. I did notice issues when the dis-stink-tion program was launched and there was an issue with the account login server, but that should have been fixed by now. I'd say this deserves a call in to make sure everything is on the up & up with your account.

Same issue here. Had to change my password to login.

I also use TripIt...

I also had the same issue on all three of the accounts where I'm "in charge". Two of them are linked to TripIt but the third is not. They were, however, all together in one AwardWallet account, which I had thought was the culprit, as I had just added the third last night.

Changing the password fixed it for me, but if other people are seeing it then maybe it really might be an IT thing. Or someone was a busy script kiddie last night...

I have the same issue now with another account I tried.
Weird.

Similar maybe. Both accounts I tried don't use AW.

We were locked out of both accounts today. One account wouldn't allow pw reset so we had to call. They told us that there was some sort of security breach so they had locked many accounts, some at a high level where we actually had to talk to a supervisor to confirm it was really and truly us.

I had the same issue yesterday as well. Had to reset password to gain access to account. Maybe it is another Distinction Benefit - Miles don't expire but passwords now do

Password change

I've had to change my password 3 times since yesterday. Still can't access through AW.

Apparently I'm out again. I'll probably have to phone them tonight when the call centre opens again, but this is going on past poor IT and into unacceptable territory.
