I’m locked out of my HMRC account

What happens when you’re locked out, how long recovery usually takes, and what you can do in the meantime.

Summary

An HMRC account is typically unlocked within 24 hours after too many failed logins. Use HMRC’s recovery steps to reset your details, or contact HMRC; when you regain access, return to your Konfir link to connect.


While you wait

You can continue your Konfir verification by skipping HMRC and connecting other sources (Banking/Payroll), then submit; your verifier will follow up if they need more.
