Twitter lock out

I have been locked out of my account twice in one day,


does anyone know why? and can this be prevented from happening?


I have to keep adding a code to get my account back. :o


Thanks

  • It's been constant on mine for weeks, was advised to delete all the "apps" that I've allowed access to - did that but it's STILL happening!

    Its been happening to me for months now too.
    Help are no help! You just go round and round in circles and get nowhere: 'Delete all apps!' Done that, it still locks me out. 'Contact us again if it continues.' Contact again. 'It looks like you are good to go' Nope, contact again: 'Delete all apps' Rinse and repeat for months.

    Snap! It's very frustrating so would love to know what is causing it.

    No, I don't think so, because I'm getting limited even on days when I don't do anything at all apart from log in to read my notifications.

    It does that sometimes, but they do come back up in a while. Strangely, although it would say that I had no followed accounts, when I went to pages, it said that I did still follow them!
