Part 1. 2 Methods to Change or Reset Password on Twitter

There are 2 ways to change or reset your Twitter password. The first one is using your username, and the second one is through your email or phone number.

Change Twitter Password with Username

If you still remember your username but forgot your Twitter password, this method will work for you. Follow the steps below to change your password. Here we take the Twitter (X) website as an example. You can also use these steps on your phone to change the password.

Step 1Go to twitter.com and click on Sign in. Enter your username. Click on Forgot password? Step 2It will pop up a window and let you enter your email, phone number, or username. If you remember your username, type your username in it. If you enter your email or phone number in this step, you will be asked to enter your username later as well. Step 3Then Twitter will want to send you a confirmation code to your email or your cell phone (if your phone number is added to your Twitter account). Then click Next. Step 4You will later get an email or text message sent by Twitter. It contains your code. Enter the code and click on Next. Step 5You will be taken to the page Choose a new password. Then, you will be asked to enter your new password and confirm it. Finally, click on Change password.

In this way, your Twitter password is changed, and you can log in again.

Reset Twitter Password with Email or Phone Number

Since everyone's Twitter username is unique, your Twitter username probably contains some irregular letters and numbers. It's hard to remember it. If you forgot your username, you need to use your email or cell phone to reset your password.

Step 1Go to the website twitter.com/account/begin_password_reset. Enter your email or cell phone number, which is associated with Twitter, and click Search. Step 2Twitter will ask you how you want to reset your password. You can choose email or phone number. And then click Next. Step 3Twitter will give you a code via email or message. After you get it, enter it, and then click on Verify. Step 4The next page is Reset your password. You need to enter your new password twice and click on Reset password. Then, your Twitter password is reset.

If you have read this article here, you may find that to change your Twitter password, an email or phone number linked to Twitter is always needed. What if you forgot your username, you don't have a valid email, and your phone number isn't in use or not added to your Twitter account? It's sad to say that you probably couldn't find it back or change it.

However, if you still have your username, you can try to go to Twitter Help, submit your username, and give them as many details as possible to let them help you find it. But this method doesn't always work with 100% certainty.
