Account Locking Out Frequently?
Common Causes
Typically lockouts are caused by devices with old passwords cached in them trying to sign back into JC resources over and over. This normally occurs from resetting your password and not updating it on all of your devices, especially phones as they tend to not stop after a failed attempt like computers. Another common instance of this is when you change your password off campus and return at a later date.
