Solved

Locked out of my IMDb pro account

Hello.  I believe I am somehow locked out of my IMDb pro account. I cannot access it as of this morning. I believe it is connected to my Amazon account.  I did receive an email from Amazon overnight stating that unusual activity was detected in my account and that all orders and subscriptions are on hold. The problem is that I’m not sure if this was a legit email or a phishing attempt. Can you please help me regain access to my IMDb pro account?  I should still have an active subscription.  Thank you

I too am having the same issue (I sign in using IMDb, not Amazon)

Well, it was restored for a couple minutes and I’m apparently locked out again.

My access still seems to be working. Wanted to wait a few minutes after you posted yours @Jmn33 just to see if it would lock me out again.

Mine keeps coming and going. It also sometimes wants me to pay for another subscription even though I have a current subscription.

When I was locked out, I too had that same issue. One time, I clicked on the "free trial" upgrade button, but it still took me to a page that wouldn't allow me to do anything, include upgrade!

Hopefully they are aware of this issue and are working to correct it for everyone.

Same problems here. 

It won't let me sign in directly via IMDb pro, I have to sign in with Amazon.

It says there has been suspicious activity (no idea what!) and my account is locked.

It says it has sent me an email to unlock it but it has not.

It says my subscription is out of date, but I don't think it is...

I try resetting my password via Amazon and it all starts again.

This is a huge waste of time!!!
