Twitter’s ad partners and affiliates share information directly with us, and may integrate our advertising technology to enable Twitter to collect similar information directly from their websites or apps. Your personalized ads setting controls whether Twitter uses this data to show you interest-based advertising on and off Twitter, and also controls whether Twitter will use data about your activity on Twitter to show you interest-based advertising off Twitter.

Twitter New Account

I lost my phone

  • If you are enrolled in two-factor authentication (2FA) and you generated a backup code, enter the backup code to access your account and update your Mobile settings.
  • If you are no longer logged in to your account and do not have access to an active backup code, please contact our support team for assistance.

Note: If your account has SMS text message two-factor authentication turned on (and when it is the only two-factor option turned on) and you're still logged in, you can remove your phone from your Mobile settings on twitter.com. Click Delete my phone and two-factor authentication will be automatically turned off for your account.

I bought a new phone

New
  • We suggest backing up your old phone before you replace it. This will let you restore your app session on your new device, allowing you to continue to use two-factor authentication. (Note: If you're on Twitter for iOS, we recommend you do an encrypted backup to preserve your app key. Typically, iCloud backups alone do not preserve the key and without an encrypted backup, you may be required to log back into your app using a temporary password generated on twitter.com)
  • You can also unenroll from two-factor authentication on your old phone, or from twitter.com if you have an existing open web session. If you do not have an open web session and you do not have your old phone, you can still log back in to twitter.com using your backup code.
  • Learn tips on how to keep your account secure.

I didn't receive the SMS code

  • SMS text messages may experience delays in delivery. Please wait at least two minutes before trying to sign in again.
  • If you're logged in, verify that your phone is turned on correctly in your Mobile settings.
  • If you recently changed your phone number or mobile carrier, you will need to update your settings. You may do so through the web, iOS, or Android apps if you are still logged in. If not, you may use a backup code to log in and change your settings. More information about backup codes is below.
  • If your mobile device is offline, or on flight mode, you may fail to receive two-factor authentication codes through SMS. Alternatively, you can generate a code through your Twitter for iOS or Twitter for Android app, or through a QR code via twitter.com (instructions listed below).

I get an error when I try to use my backup codes

  • If you try to login using an inactive backup code, or try to use a backup code out of order, you will see an error message. You will need to generate a new backup code to log in.
  • Your backup codes will only work when logging in to twitter.com, mobile.twitter.com, Twitter for iOS or Android, or another Twitter client. If you're trying to access a third party application associated with your Twitter account, you'll need to use a temporary password instead of your backup code.

Using backup codes

A backup code is automatically generated for you when you turn on two-factor authentication through your iOS or Android Twitter app. You can also generate a backup code on twitter.com. Write down, print or take a screenshot of this backup code. In the event that you lose your mobile device or change your phone number, you can use this backup code to log in to your account. Backup codes are not the same as temporary passwords.

To generate a new backup code through your Twitter app:

  1. Go to your Settings and privacy (on an iOS device, tap your profile icon; on an Android device, tap the navigation menu icon or your profile icon).
  2. Tap Account, then tap Security.
  3. Tap Backup code.
  4. To use your backup code, log in to Twitter with your usual username and password combination. When you see that a two-factor authentication request has been sent, click the link to enter your backup code. Enter the backup code you've generated to log into the site.

Note: You can generate up to five active backup codes at any given time. Be sure to use the codes in the order in which you generated them; using a code out of order will invalidate all previously generated codes.

I’m a Verizon customer and I can’t log in to my account

Twitter New Account Public

If you’re a new or existing Verizon customer, you may not be able to log in to your account because you’re not receiving a two-factor authentication PIN via text messages. Try logging out of your Twitter account and logging back in. You should then receive a verification PIN via SMS. If this doesn't resolve your issue, send a text message from your device with the message content, GO, to the Twitter short code 40404. This will opt you in to receive SMS from Twitter, which is consistent with your notification settings.
