If you’re unable to access your email account and you’ve gotten a message that it’s been locked, this has occurred for your protection. Usually, it's as simple as a typo or wrong password being entered too many times.

We can help you regain access to your account.

If you think you may have been hacked, learn how you can quickly protect your email account.

Make sure you entered your ID and password correctly. For your protection, we may lock your account after too many sign-in attempts. If this happens, wait an hour or reset your AT&T Mail password.

You are probably wondering if reentering your email password is a legitimate request from AT&T. Don't worry, it is.

Learn how to create a Secure Mail Key for each of your AT&T email addresses and subaccounts, so you can continue to:
    •  Access your AT&T email with your favorite email apps.
    •  Synchronize other account info, such as your calendar and contacts, to your email app.

This error code means that you have logged into your email to many times and it is now locked.

We suggest that you reset your password, which may resync your account on our end.

We recommend that you wait a full 24 hours after the reset before logging back in. This should give your account time to fully sync.

Have you recently reset or changed your email password on your desktop computer or tablet? If you access the same AT&T email account on all your devices, you will need to update the email password on your smartphone as well.

We can help you check your account, settings, connectivity, browsers and try these tips to fix common sign-in issues.

We are implementing a more secure way for customers using mail clients to login to their AT&T mail service.

If you use a mail client like Thunderbird, Gmail, or Outlook to access your mail on your mobile device or computer, you may need to update your settings.

If you're like most people, you have email apps that let you read and manage email on your computer and mobile devices.

For your security, we suggest you only use email apps with an email technology known as Open Authentication or OAuth.

OAuth encrypts your username and password to protect your info from hackers and fraudsters.

Learn about OAuth and find out if your app uses OAuth.

OAuth compatible email apps

      1.  You can access your email with apps that encrypt your username and password with Open Authentication (OAuth).
      2.  You can check your AT&T email at currently.com (formerly att.net).
      3.  You can use a Secure Mail Key to access email with an app that doesn't use encryption.

If you are using one of the following Non-OAuth compatible email apps:
    •  Outlook 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019
    •  Mozilla Thunderbird
    •  Windows Mail on personal computers running Windows 8 or older
    •  Apple Mail/Mac Mail on macOS 10.10/Yosemite or older

Creating Secure Mail Key for each of your AT&T email addresses and subaccounts will allow you to continue to:
    •  Access your AT&T Mail using your favorite email apps
    •  Synchronize other account info, such as your calendar and contacts, to your email app.

Learn about Secure Mail Keys and why you’ll need one to access your AT&T email from a desktop program or email app without Open Authentication (OAuth).

A Secure Mail Key will not affect your AT&T email password.

You'll still use the same password you use for your AT&T Mail account in OAuth-compatible apps, myAT&T, other AT&T products like currently.com and webmail. And, when you change your AT&T email password, you won't need to get a new Secure Mail Key.
