Users who have already completed account verification

Account freezing only applies to those who have completed account verification.

Once you freeze your account, you won't be able to log in or register using the same email/phone/identity information. However, if you decide to unfreeze the account, you can unfreeze it by completing security authentication (Phone authentication, Email authentication and Authenticator app). You may contact our customer service for assistance if any difficulties are encountered.
