According to the help page of Yahoo, below are the following possible reasons for your account to be locked.

Three or more failed sign in attempts
They're automatic security measures
Someone with a similar Yahoo! ID accidentally typed your ID on log in

How our account lock works:

It lasts 24 hours, starting on the third unsuccessful log in attempt.
It doesn't reset. Attempting to login again within the 24 period will not help.
Try again after 24 hours. Once the lockout time has expired, your password should work as usual.
We can't provide the lock time information to you. We can't give you the exact time that your account was locked or when it will be unlocked.
