You completed identity verification successfully.
The system confirmed it.
Yet your account remains restricted.
This usually means your account is under a temporary security hold — separate from the verification process itself.
Verification and Security Lock Are Not the Same Thing
Identity verification confirms who you are.
A security hold evaluates whether recent activity on your account appears risky.
These are two different systems operating independently.
Even after successful verification, your account may remain locked if the platform detects:
- Unusual login locations
- Rapid password reset attempts
- Multiple failed login sessions
- Payment method changes combined with new device access
In these cases, verification clears your identity — but the risk assessment layer may still require time to resolve.
Why the Lock Doesn’t Lift Immediately
Security systems often use automated review queues.
Some restrictions lift automatically after a cooling-off period.
Others require manual review by a trust and safety team.
Repeated login attempts during a hold period can extend the restriction window.
If your account remains locked after verification, the issue is typically not identity failure — it is an active security protection layer.
Verification proves who you are. A security hold evaluates what your account has been doing.
