Everyone has this (source: some thread on Reddit with a bunch of "me too" answers). It's a bug with their system and I don't think they know about it/care/(?)

Confident about that? It's certainly not the only service I get break in attempts on, fwiw

Well first of all, someone else knowing your username should not be able to lock you out of your account. So even if it isn't a bug it's bad design.

It looks like you can still sign in even if your account is "locked" which further adds to the theory that it is a bug.

Here are a few threads with a bunch of "me too"s. [0][1]
