Frequently Asked Questions
I tried resetting my Twitter password but still can’t log into my account. What should I do?
If you can’t get access to your Twitter account even after resetting your password, you may have been locked out of your account due to a security issue. It is also possible that you received a temporary ban. Check your email for any ban notifications and contact Twitter Support for more information.
I’m not receiving any verification codes from Twitter, what should I do?
If you are unable to receive the verification code via text, check if you are using the phone number that is registered on the Twitter app. Make sure you are receiving ample network coverage and that the Twitter number isn’t blocked.
Why do I keep getting password reset emails?
If you keep getting password recovery codes from Twitter, it means someone is trying to gain access to your account. Do not share the verification code with anyone as it will give them access to your account. You can also beef up the security by adding two-factor authentication to your account.
