Troubleshooting twitter login

The Twitter microblogging service authorization system as a whole is the same as that used in other social networks. Accordingly, login problems are by no means uncommon. Yes, and the reasons for this can be very different. However, the loss of access to a Twitter account is not a serious cause for concern, because there are reliable mechanisms for its recovery.

Problems with logging into Twitter arise not only through the fault of the user (lost login, password, or all together). The reason for this may be a failure in the service or account hacking.

We will consider all options for authorization obstacles and methods for their complete elimination.

Reason 1: Lost username

As you know, Twitter is logged in by specifying a username and password for a user account. The login, in turn, is the username or the email address or mobile phone number associated with the account. Well, the password, of course, cannot be replaced by anything.

Thus, you can enter your account either from Twitter, or using a separate one.


At the same time, if the service flatly refuses to accept the email address you entered, most likely a mistake was made when writing it. Fix it and try logging in again.

Reason 2: Lost email address

It is easy to guess that in this case the solution is similar to the one presented above. But with only one amendment: instead of an email address in the login field, you need to use your username or mobile phone number associated with your account.


In case of further problems with authorization, you should use . This will allow you to receive instructions on how to restore access to your account to the same mailbox previously linked to your Twitter account.

Reason 3: No access to linked phone number

If a mobile phone number was not linked to your account or it was irretrievably lost (for example, when you lost your device), you can restore access to your account by following the instructions above.

Reason 4: "Login closed" message

In this case, the solution to the problem is as simple as possible - you just need to wait a bit. The fact is that such an error is a consequence of a temporary account blocking, which, on average, automatically turns off an hour after activation.

Reason 5: The account was probably hacked

If you have any reason to believe that your Twitter account has been hacked and is under the control of an attacker, the first step is of course to reset your password. We have already explained how to do this.

Also, having restored access to a hacked account, it is worth taking measures to ensure its security. And these are:

So, we have considered the main problems with logging into a Twitter account. Anything outside of this refers more to failures in the service, which are extremely rare. And if you still encounter a similar problem when authorizing on Twitter, you should definitely contact
