    I have lost access to the email address I used when I signed up.

    1. Try to log in to your Twitter account using just your username and password. As soon as you are logged in, be sure to update your email address in your account settings.
    2. If you have added your mobile number to your account, you can receive an SMS (text message) password reset code. Read more about this here.
    3. If you have forgotten your password and have lost access to your account email, and you do not have a mobile number associated with your account, we are unable to help you regain access to that Twitter account. Contact your email provider for help. Read more here.

    I requested a new password reset, but it has not arrived in my email inbox.

    1. Be sure to check your junk or spam filters on your email inbox. Many small domains filter our emails. Search for any emails from Twitter.
    2. Enter your email address when requesting a password reset. This will ensure you know which email we are sending to, and are checking the right inbox. 
    3. If you are requesting a password reset to the correct email address but it is not arriving, file a support ticket here.

    I am receiving the password reset emails but I still cannot log in!

    1. Try again – the links in those emails are time-sensitive. Be sure you have not copied and pasted any extra spaces if you copy the link into your browser's URL bar.
    2. Try logging in from a different browser (we suggest Firefox, which can be downloaded for free) or another computer.
    3. Make sure your browser accepts cookies. Before saving your new password, you should also try clearing your browser's cache.

    I try to log in and I get a "Locked out!" error message.

    • Those locks will clear on their own after an hour or so. Do not request more password resets while you wait.

    I just made a new account, but have not been able to log in yet.

    • Make sure your signup was successful. Check your email inbox for the confirmation we send you when you successfully signed up for an account. 
      • If it looks like you did not create an account, you can sign up again here.
      • If you did create a new account but cannot log in, request a new password here. Be sure to check your spam and junk folders for our password email.
