How to Change Your Twitter Password

To change your Twitter password, now called your X password, open Settings and privacy, select Your account, and choose Change your password. Enter the current password, enter the new password twice, and save the change.

The steps below explain how to change a Twitter password in the X mobile app or a desktop browser, plus how to reset it when you cannot sign in.

What do you need before changing your Twitter password?

Before starting a password change on Twitter/X, check which recovery and access details you have available:

• Your current password, if you can sign in.
• Access to the X account through the mobile app or a browser.
• Access to the verified email address or phone number associated with the account in case X asks you to confirm your identity.
• A new password that you do not use for another account.
• Confirmation of whether you are working in the X app or a desktop browser, because the first menu is different.

A verified email address or phone number is contact information that X has associated with the account and can use to send a recovery code. If either detail is outdated but you are still signed in, update the account information before signing out.

How do you change your password in the X app?

The current mobile app is branded X, although many people still search for “change password in Twitter” or “how to change password on Twitter.” The menu path is the same on the X apps for iPhone and Android.

1. Open the X app and make sure you are using the correct account.
2. Open the navigation menu by tapping your profile picture or the menu control shown in the app.
3. Tap Settings and privacy.
4. Tap Your account.
5. Tap Change your password.
6. Enter your current password in the first field.
7. Enter the new password, then enter it again in the confirmation field.
8. Tap Done to submit the change.

After a successful password change, X signs the account out of other active sessions but keeps the session used to make the change signed in. This helps remove access from devices that may still have the old password.

If the app shows different wording, update the X app and look under Your account rather than searching unrelated privacy or security menus.

How do you change your password on X.com in a desktop browser?

To change a password on Twitter/X from a computer, sign in through {site}. Use the left navigation menu to reach the account settings.

1. Select More in the navigation bar.
2. Select Settings and privacy.
3. Select Your account.
4. Select Change your password.
5. Type the current password.
6. Type the new password and enter it again under Confirm password.
7. Select Save.

This is the direct browser procedure for a Twitter password change. If you can access the account but cannot remember the current password, use the password-reset option offered from the password settings screen instead of guessing repeatedly.

How do you change your Twitter password if you forgot the current password?

If you cannot sign in, reset the X password from the sign-in screen. A password reset replaces the forgotten password after X confirms access to an email address or phone number associated with the account.

1. Open the X app or the X sign-in page and select Forgot password?
2. Enter the account email address, phone number, or X username.
3. Choose an available email or text-message recovery method when prompted.
4. Check that email inbox or phone for the message from X.
5. Enter the code on the password-reset screen. If the message provides a reset control, open it and follow the displayed instructions.
6. Create a new password, confirm it, and submit the change.
7. Sign in again with the new password.

If several X accounts share one phone number, X may not allow that number to identify the correct account. Start the reset with the username or account email address instead. Resetting a forgotten password signs the account out of all active X sessions.

What should you do if the password will not change or the reset message never arrives?

When a change password Twitter request fails, identify the point where it stopped before submitting more requests.

• Missing email: Check spam, junk, promotions, and filtered folders. Search the inbox for messages from X and confirm that you are checking the address associated with the account.
• Missing text or code: Confirm that the phone has service, can receive messages, and is not blocking the sender. If available, try recovery by email.
• Outdated contact information: If the account is still open on another device, use that signed-in session to review or update the email address or phone number.
• New password rejected: Follow every password requirement displayed on the screen. Use a distinct password and make sure both new-password entries match exactly.
• Reset message no longer works: Request a new message and use the newest code or reset control. Recovery codes and reset messages can expire.
• Too many attempts: Stop submitting repeated login or reset requests. A security lock may need time to clear before another attempt can succeed.

Do not share a reset code or password with anyone. X Support does not need your password to review an account-access problem.

How do you get help from X Support when you are locked out?

If you still cannot change the Twitter password, use the official X Help Center and its account-access form. Open {site}, find the Help Center, choose Contact Us, and select the option for regaining access to an account or forgetting a password.

Provide the X username and an email address you can currently access. Explain whether the account email or phone number is outdated, whether reset messages arrive, and what error appears. Do not send your current password, proposed password, or recovery code.

Recovery may be limited when you cannot access any email address or phone number associated with the account. Submit accurate details through the official support form and avoid unofficial phone numbers or people claiming they can unlock the account.
