+title: Locked Account Tool
+description: Understand how the locked account tool works in Expensify Classic, what features it restricts, and how to request an unlock.
+keywords: [locked account, Expensify Classic, domain admin, secondary login, reimbursements blocked, card locked, unlock account]
+---
+
+
+The locked account tool prevents high-risk actions from being taken on accounts that may have been compromised. It safeguards payment activity, contact methods, and account access.
+
+---
+
+## When is it appropriate to click the button for your own account or for your employee’s account?
+
+Use the **Lock Account** button if:
+- You suspect unauthorized activity on your own or an employee's account.
+- There are changes to bank accounts, logins, or suspicious payment activity.
+- You want to pause activity on an account until Concierge investigates.
+
+---
+
+## Which features are locked?
+
+The following actions are restricted when an account is locked in Expensify Classic:
+
+### Profile settings
+- Adding a secondary login
+- Adding or remove Two Factor Authentication (2FA)
+- Domain Admins cannot reset Two Factor Authentication for Domain Members
+- Inviting Copilots
+
+### Wallet settings
+- Connecting, updating or removing bank accounts
+
+### Domain management
+- Adding or removing Domain Admins (`Settings > Domains > Domain Admins`)
+- Inviting or closing Domain Members (`Settings > Domains > Domain Members`)
+
+### Workspace members
+- Inviting, removing, or importing members via spreadsheet
+
+### Expensify Cards
+- Enabling Expensify Cards
+- Editing limits (`Settings > Domains > Company Cards`)
+- Showing card details
+- Activating cards from the Inbox
+- Adding to Apple Wallet/Google Pay
+- Requesting a new card
+
+**Note:**
+- If the user is a **Domain Admin**, all cards under the domain will be locked.
+- If they are only a **cardholder**, only their personal cards are locked.
+
+### Reimbursements and payments
+- Clicking **Reimburse** on reports
+- Clicking **Pay** on bills if the member is a reimburser
+ - Applies to all items submitted by or payable by the locked member
+
+---
+
+## How to do it?
+
+
+- **Members:** The **Lock Account** button appears at the bottom of the screen in `Settings > Account > Profile`.
+
+- **Domain Admins:** You can lock a domain member's account using the **Lock Account** option located in `Settings > Domains > Domain Members > Edit Settings`.
+
+---
+
+## Unlocking an account
+
+This button is not reversible without the assistance of an Expensify team member. Once the account is locked, a member of the Expensify team will work with you to take the necessary steps to secure your account and remove any unauthorised access. Only once these steps are taken will the account be unlocked.
+
+---
+
+# FAQ
+
+## Why can’t I unlock my account?
+
+Account unlocks must be handled by Expensify to ensure the integrity of your data and prevent unauthorized access. Use Concierge for help, and we'll guide you through the next steps.

+
+Click the **Lock Account** button if:
+- Your account is compromised (e.g., unexpected logins or changes).

+- Activating physical Expensify Cards
+
+**Note:**

+
+### Reimbursements and payments
