I have had a problem with my email since changing my password on May 25, 2020, I have to log in with user name and password every time I want to view my account. i have checked stay logged in for 2 weeks. Now today, I was locked out for too many attempts to log in. I was on the phone with AT&T for 30 minutes and was told my account was unlocked and I should wait an hour and try again. I waited for an hour and half and I'm still getting the message. Any help??

Having the same issue since 5/27/20 as well. I have tried calling AT&T and they said to wait 6 hours to see if it unlocks itself, I waited 8 hours and no luck. Still having the same issues?! I need help with this as well.!

Just talked to AT&T Again, they basically said there was nothing I can do and I have to wait 24 hours from the last failed attempt for it to unlock itself. Grrrr.

I can get into my email account on my phones but I can't access it on my computer. I am getting an error message that says:

"Looks like you’ve tried to sign in unsuccessfully too many times. Recover your ID or reset your password to continue.

CARE CODE: 205.2 [LU003]". I d on't want to change my password. It is working on my phones. How do I get access from my computer.?

Thank you, Marc, but this error comes up even when we don't have ANY failed attempts to log in. Any time I log in to my email or my Yahoo portal page from one of my devices — work laptop, home laptop, or my Android phone — ATT gives me the same (Edited per community guidelines) error message that MASMECO reported above. This did not ever happen until about a week ago.

Wait 24 hours before logging in again? That kind of makes your email service useless.

I keep getting on my laptop this error message:. Care code: 205.2 (LU003) on my first attempt to login. Literally I try one time and get this messages. No issues on my other devices. How are you going to fix this so I don't have to create a new password every couple of weeks? I have noticed this seems to happen when my laptop gets an update or after I have logged out.

Looks like you’ve tried to sign in unsuccessfully too many times. Recover your ID or reset your password to continue.

I started receiving this Care Code 205.2 [LU003] a few days ago when I tried to access my email on a PC. Like most people I receive my email on my PC and on my iPhone. I can reset my password to get back in to my email on one device sometimes, but when I try to update my password the other deivce will get this Care Code again. Basicly I can only access my email from one device because the other device will receive Care Code 205.2 [LU003] even thouugh it's the correct password. This is driving me nuts because I don't know how to fix it or where to get help!!!

That's a much better answer than the normal brain dead reply "here's how to reset your password". Hopefully this really gets fixed for good.

Does anybody know if secure mail keys are now required in some situations or is it optional. From what I read I think they are being forced if your client does not support OAuth is that correct?

Thank you, drusus. That describes my problem perfectly. I can only be signed in on one device. When I go to the other, I get the care code. I even reset with the same password. Will work after all that trouble, but then will act up if I try to get mail on another device or if I’ve logged out. PLEASE stop telling us to wait 24 hours to reset password. That has NOTHING to do with it.

I continuously received this error message as well. The 24 hour level 2 lock is AT&T’s textbook response from nontechnical personnel. For whatever reason something happened in the system that requires a reconfiguration of the profile settings on their end. If you call an Accounts Specialist at 877-285-0117 prompt 2 account login, it’s a quick and easy fix. Please share this post with others on duplicate threads.
