Twitter password reset FAQs

I tried resetting my Twitter account or password, but I still can’t log into my account. What should I do?

If you’re still having login issues after resetting your Twitter password, you may be locked out of your account for security purposes.

What if I’m not receiving texts or verification codes from Twitter?

You’ll want to make sure you have cell reception or internet access, and that the Twitter number isn’t blocked. It can take a few minutes to receive a verification code. If you’re still having trouble, try the email password reset option.

How do I reset my Twitter password without email or a phone number?

We use your email address and phone number to verify your identity, so when you can’t access this information, recovery options are limited. If you know your Twitter username, we may be able to help with your login issues.

Why do I keep getting password reset emails?

If you frequently receive password reset messages that you did not request, it may be a good idea to turn on the Password reset protection in your account settings and set up two-factor authentication.

More password help

Sometimes there are circumstances that lead to losing access to the verification information you need to log into your Twitter account. After trying the tips below, if you still can’t recover your password and access your account, contact Twitter Support. Please note that without an email or phone number to verify your identity, recovery options are limited. 

Recovery tips

• Log in with the username and password combination you last remember. 
• Check other platfoms. Look to see if you are still logged into your account elsewhere like the Twitter app, mobile.twitter.com or TweetDeck.
• Verify what you can. Try finding your Twitter account with one verifying piece of information like your username to help determine the email or phone associated with your account. 

Start with your username

Entering a valid username prompts Twitter to ask for the email address associated with your account. Try any possible email address you may have associated with your account. When you provide the valid email, Twitter will ask how you want to reset your password. 

Start with your phone number

If you can’t determine the valid email, repeat the process above with possible phone numbers. When you provide the valid phone number, Twitter sends a code to the phone associated with your account so you can reset your password. If you receive a prompt saying more than one Twitter account is associated with a phone number, this option won’t work for you.
