Why was my Apple account locked?
I was required to reset my Apple ID for security reasons. I would like to know the reason since they were not explained.

First: We are simply other users w/o any access to your account or private info; so PLEASE don’t share any in this public forum.
Next: Can you possibly explain HOW you were notified of this? (e-mail, iMessage, Text, etc.)
An image if available (with private info redacted) is always helpful.
Also … exactly what private info did you provide (if any) in response?
Not being nosy, but this sounds like a phishing attack.
