How do I start the account recovery process after Twilio locks my account?

Objective

If Twilio has locked your account after detecting suspicious activity, this article helps you open a recovery ticket so Twilio Support can verify you and restore access to your account.

 

Product

Twilio Console

 

Environment

Twilio Console

 

Procedure

  1. Sign in to the Twilio Console. When your account has been locked for suspicious activity, the account status area at the top of the page shows a Suspended badge.
  2. Select the Suspended badge, then select Recover account. The Account Activity Review page opens.
  3. Review the alert at the top of the page and the recent activity listed below it, so you can describe what you found.
  4. Select Start account recovery flow.
  5. Wait for the confirmation message Account recovery ticket created successfully. Twilio Support reviews the ticket and responds to you.

 

Additional Information

  • Only one ticket can be raised per account. If a ticket already exists, the page shows A ticket has already been created for this account and no second ticket is created.
  • Choose Start account recovery flow when the activity does look fraudulent. If the activity looks legitimate to you, use the option to raise a ticket saying your account is secure instead.
  • Completing the recovery process matters because a compromised account can lead to unexpected charges and exposure of your personal details.
