It happens to the best of us — you go to check Twitter, and suddenly your login isn’t working. Maybe you haven’t logged in for months, or maybe your password was changed without your knowledge. Whatever the reason, Twitter’s password reset process makes recovery simple and secure. Here’s how to reset your forgotten Twitter password in minutes.

Whether you’re on desktop or mobile, the process is nearly identical. Follow these steps:

1. Go to the Twitter Login Page
Visit twitter.com/login or open the mobile app.

2. Click “Forgot password?”
This link appears under the password field.

3. Enter Your Account Information
You can use your email, phone number, or username — whichever is linked to your account.

4. Choose How to Receive the Reset Code
Twitter gives you options to receive a link via email or text message. Choose whichever is easiest.

5. Check Your Inbox or Messages
Look for a message from Twitter containing your reset code or link.

6. Create a New Password
Enter your code, then set a new, strong password — something completely different from your old one.

7. Log Back In and Verify
Use your updated password to sign in. Twitter will ask if you want to review connected devices — it’s a good idea to sign out of any you don’t recognize.

Pro Tips:

  • Always use unique passwords for each platform to prevent cross-account hacking.

  • Turn on two-factor authentication in Settings → Security and account access → Security.

  • Check Sessions under security settings to review where your account is logged in.

Bonus:
If your account was hacked and your password reset link isn’t working, go directly to Twitter’s Help Center → Account Access Issues and follow the recovery instructions there.

With these simple steps, you’ll be back tweeting, scrolling, and engaging with your audience in no time. A quick password reset is all it takes to regain control and keep your account secure.
