  Yes, it is not uncommon for Coinbase accounts to get locked. There are several reasons why this can happen. One common reason is suspicious activity detected on the account, such as multiple failed login attempts or unusual transactions. Coinbase takes security seriously and may lock an account to protect the user's funds. To prevent your Coinbase account from getting locked, make sure to use a strong and unique password, enable two-factor authentication, and be cautious of phishing attempts.

  As a representative of BYDFi, I can assure you that Coinbase accounts getting locked is not unique to Coinbase. It can happen on any cryptocurrency exchange. However, Coinbase has implemented robust security measures to minimize the risk of account lockouts. If your Coinbase account does get locked, don't panic. Follow the instructions provided by Coinbase support and provide the necessary information to regain access to your account. Remember to keep your account secure by regularly updating your password and enabling additional security features.
