I've been trying to change my user name for a few weeks now, but after changing it, it would mysteriously change back. Twitter support has been non-responsive. I'm assuming this must be the issue. Also, I can no longer access the Twitter Facebook app. Maybe they are related.

Sh*t. I forgot about this (I RTed this when it first came out). I just changed mine earlier today and logged out, now I can't log in.

Something is affecting me with respect to password changing. Right after that phishing scam yesterday. I changed my password.

After a few hours of using third party apps with the *new* password. My account would revert to the old password. It's done this 3-4 times now.

I changed my username today and I'm having serious issues with Twitter now. I only get messages if people use my new username, but my home page still lists my old username as my current one. When I click on my "profile", it tells me the page does not exist, and sometimes when I try to type in my new username it tells me there is a technical issue and fails to show my profile. This may have been difficult to follow, but trust me, it's difficult for me to understand and deal with right now. Very frustrating. I hope they fix this technical glitch soon.

Any update on this? I had a friend whose account was hacked today so I thought it best to change my password. In doing so, I officially locked myself out of my account multiple times and cannot get my iphone app to accept the new one(s) either.

Heads up?

I'm still getting issues. I can get on one day then all of a sudden I get locked out of Twitter and Tweetdeck says I'm not Authorised again. Frustrating!

I can't even find anything to suggest that Twitter are even working on a fix. They seem to be under the impression that they have resolved the issue.

The most recent thing can find says:

OCT
18TH

We are currently investigating a problem whereby some Twitter clients in widely scattered network locations are unable to connect to twitter.com.

Update (Sunday 1:36pm PDT): Network should be back to normal now. We are investigating the cause of the outage and will update this with more information when we know more

I just had the same problem. I changed my password on my twitter account (not too long ago)and I couldn't log into my iPhone Tweety app. But, I FIXED this problem by changing my "changed" password back to the ORIGINAL password. I beleive that the 3rd party apps will only recognize your orignal/first password you made with Twitter. Now I'm able to log into Tweety app on my iPhone! =D It worked for me. HOPE THIS HELPS.

Hell yeah!!! Affected me. I STILL can't get into my twitter account. But it's been weeks, not recent. I signed up online and didn't put a phone number down. Now I can't verify a phone number so I can't get a password reset. I get the same stock answer from Twitter and no human being. Would LOVE to get my account back. What can I do?

No change..however, someone got access to my account and tweeted some scam for a "stream Paranormal Activity full movie". Still can't figure out how that happened.

In the past few days, I noticed that when I logged onto Twitter from a different machine, my personalized desktop background and profile pic were gone.

Julian James — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 04:18:05 -0000

Yes! Having changed my password about 7 or 8 times over the last couple of days I now wish I had read this article!

My main problem has been Tweetdeck not recognising my new passwords although that has been a sporadic issue.

It's certainly made me realise how much I rely on Twitter and Tweetdeck during my day.

My partner just lost his username after just having changed it. Now it is blocked. Any suggestions how to fix that?

I got a lot of those phishing DMs today and then an email from "Twitter" telling me that my login had been disabled due to a security issue and to click through a link and change my password immediately.

I checked on Twitter and couldn't find any indication that this email was for real (no other warnings on the site), so I didn't click through and haven't changed my details.

Has anyone else got this email? Do you know if it's for real?
