Happened to me earlier today so I changed it but now I've just had the same email again. Anyone know what's going on?

I've just had the same email again too, tried logging in from a direct link not the email and yes my "new" password has been reset - am now trying to work out what's going on as well :mad:

I've just got one too, very strange...

me too I had the email and my twitter was left open while I've been away busy for a few hours and sure enough when I refreshed the page it was logged out so I think it is genuine

Hopefully it's just Twitter being over-cautious :T

EDIT: the email was sent to me at 13:05

Had same today, I did do a few Competwition ones yesterday, but OH has also had same today and doesn't do Competwitions so don't think it can be that xx

I've had it and don't do Competwitions either.

Hubby reckons it might be precautionary due to Apple getting hacked in to, in case you use the same password as you do with them, so that if your password was stole in the Apple hack, they won't be able to use it to log in to your Twitter too.

I had the same but twitter is being odd today anyway. I can't log in through safari but can thought the twitter apron on my iPad.

Hello,
Twitter is a free service and we receive quite a bit of mail, so we may not get to yours right away. Please read through this automated response to find out next steps for reclaiming a compromised/hacked account. You will need to respond to this email to reopen your ticket.
It looks like your password was reset because the security of your account appeared to be compromised. We have this security precaution in place in order to prevent the spread of malware or spam, and to avoid suspending legitimate users.
We sent an email to your account email address with more information, and a link to reset your password. If you’re unable to locate this email, it could have ended up in a spam or junk filter.
You can also easily request a new password here:
https://twitter.com/account/resend_password
If you're prompted to enter your mobile number, please try entering any number that was ever associated with your account starting with the + sign and country code (U.K.: +447781488126, U.S.: +12125551212, etc).
Once you've set a new, strong password and reviewed the applications on your Applications tab (http://twitter.com/settings/applications ) your account should be secure. If you still can't get in, and you filed this ticket from the email address you used on your account, please reply to this email to let us know you’re still having an issue. Be sure you've included:
• Your username
• Any email addresses you think might be associated with your account
• The last date you had access to your account
• The phone number associated with the account (if you verified your mobile phone)
If this did not answer your inquiry, please respond to this email to reopen this ticket.
Thanks,
Twitter Trust & Safety


And then this straight after
