How to Change Your Twitter Password

To change a Twitter password while signed in, open X settings, select Your account, choose Change your password, and enter the current and new passwords. If you cannot sign in, select Forgot password? and verify the account through its associated email address or phone number.

Twitter is now called X, so current menus and official messages generally use the X name. A password reset replaces a forgotten password after X verifies that you control the account’s recovery email address or phone number.

How do you change your Twitter password while signed in?

Use the password settings when you know your current password. Have the new password ready before starting, and make it unique to X rather than reusing one from another account.

1. Open the navigation menu and select Settings and privacy.
2. Select Your account, then Change your password.
3. Enter your current password.
4. Enter the new password, then enter it again to confirm it.
5. Select Save or Done, depending on the device.

If you are signed in but cannot remember the current password, use the password-reset option shown on the password settings page. Changing the password signs the account out of other active X sessions, while keeping the session used to make the change signed in.

How do you reset a forgotten Twitter password?

Start recovery only for your own account and use an email address, phone number, or username associated with it.

1. Open the company’s official website or the official X app and go to the sign-in screen.
2. Select Forgot password?
3. Enter the account’s email address, phone number, or X username.
4. Choose an available recovery method presented by X.
5. Check the selected email inbox or phone for the recovery message.
6. Enter the code or follow the instructions in the official message.
7. Create a new password when prompted.

If several X accounts share the same phone number, X may not allow that number to identify the account during this step. Use the account username or associated email address instead. A completed password reset signs the account out of all active X sessions.

How do you change your Twitter password in the iPhone or Android app?

The current official navigation path is the same in the X apps for iOS and Android.

1. Open the X app and display the navigation menu.
2. Tap Settings and privacy.
3. Tap Your account.
4. Tap Change your password.
5. Enter the current password, enter the new password, and confirm the new password.
6. Tap Done.

If the app shows a different layout, update the official app and look under Settings and privacy. Do not enter the password into an unofficial app or password-reset service.

How do you change your Twitter password on the website?

On a desktop or mobile browser, sign in to X before opening the account settings.

1. Open the main navigation menu. On a desktop, select More.
2. Select Settings and privacy.
3. Open Your account.
4. Select Change your password.
5. Enter the current password.
6. Enter and confirm the new password, then select Save.

If you do not know the current password, return to the sign-in screen and select Forgot password? Browser password managers may fill an old password automatically, so check the filled entry before submitting the form.

What should you do if the Twitter reset email or code never arrives?

First confirm that you requested recovery for the correct account and are checking the email address or phone associated with that account.

• Check spam, junk, and other filtered email folders, then search the mailbox for messages from X.
• Submit another request using the account’s email address so you know which inbox to check.
• For a text code, confirm that the phone has cellular reception and that messages from X are not blocked.
• If text recovery does not work, try the email recovery option when it is available.
• If you no longer control the email address, ask the email provider about restoring access.
• If a reset message arrives but does not work, request a new one and follow only the newest instructions.

Recovery options are limited when you cannot access the account’s email address or verified phone number. X uses those details to confirm account ownership and may be unable to restore access without them.

How do you secure Twitter after changing the password?

After a Twitter password change, review access to the account instead of assuming that replacing the password resolved every security concern.

1. Open Settings and privacy, then Security and account access.
2. Select Apps and sessions, then Sessions.
3. Review the listed locations and login times.
4. Log out of an unfamiliar session, or select Log out all other sessions if appropriate.
5. Return to Apps and sessions and revoke access for any connected app you do not recognize or no longer use.
6. Open Security and enable two-factor authentication, which adds a second identity check at sign-in.
7. Enable Password reset protection if it is available in the account’s security settings.

Also secure the email account connected to X with its own unique password. Never share a recovery code, password, or backup code with someone claiming that it is needed to repair the account.

How do you get official Twitter account support?

When self-service recovery fails, use the X Help Center and its official account-access forms. Open the company’s official website, find the Help Center or Help option, and choose the topic for login problems, account access, or a compromised account.

Provide the account username and an email address you can access, plus a clear description of the error. Submit information only through pages reached from the official X site or app. X does not provide a recovery route that bypasses ownership verification, and unofficial password-reset tools cannot safely restore an account.
