Help Needed: "The current user has been blocked" during login
Facing a 403 Forbidden error with the message "The current user has been blocked" while trying to log in via GitHub and Email/Password.
This is happening on a legitimate account used for a student project (StudentCoach). I am a security researcher and a GitHub Student Developer Pack user, but I haven't violated any terms. It seems like a false positive flag on my account or IP.
Can someone check why the access is restricted and help in unblocking it?
TL;DR
Issue: Developers are encountering a "The current user has been blocked" error when attempting to login via GitHub and Email/Password. The account is legitimate and crucial for a student project. They suspect it might be a false positive flag on their account/IP.
Solution: Contact GitHub support to investigate the reason for the block and request assistance in getting the account unblocked.
