Help with confirmation emails

Are you getting emails in your inbox for a Twitter account you didn't sign up for? Typically this is just a case of honest user confusion – it's likely someone signed up for a Twitter account and mistyped their email, using yours instead. Read on to learn how to resolve the problem.

How to remove your email from the account

Click the "not my account" link that appears in the confirmation email we sent to your email inbox. You will be taken to a page that shows a screen asking you to confirm the removal of your email from that specific Twitter account.
If you own the email and did NOT create the Twitter account, click the large gray Opt-out button. Your email account will be disassociated from the Twitter account, and you'll see a confirmation screen.

Note: If you remove your email from an account you didn't create, you can still use it later to create a Twitter account of your own.
