X Twitter Login: What Changed and How to Access Your Account

Since Twitter rebranded to X, many users are unsure where to sign in and what changed with authentication. This quick guide explains the X Twitter login flow on web and mobile—plus security tips to keep your account protected.

New branding, familiar flow

While the brand and UI evolved, the core login steps remain similar: enter your email/username and password, then complete 2FA if enabled.

Updated URLs and app name

Web: https://twitter.com/login and https://x.com/login both redirect appropriately.
Mobile: The app appears as X in app stores, but your existing credentials still work.

How to log in to X (Twitter) on the web

Visit https://x.com/login (or https://twitter.com/login).
Enter your username/email and password.
Complete two-factor authentication (2FA) if prompted.

How to log in on iOS and Android

Install the X app from the App Store or Google Play.
Tap Log in and follow the prompts.
Approve any device verification requests.

Turn on 2FA (prefer app or passkey)

Use an authenticator app or passkey for stronger, phishing-resistant protection. Avoid SMS when possible.

Use a password manager

Generate a long, unique password and store it securely.

Verify URLs before entering credentials

Check that you’re on x.com or twitter.com—beware of lookalike domains.

Forgot your password?

Reset it at https://twitter.com/account/begin_password_reset.

Not receiving 2FA codes?

Try an authenticator app or backup codes. Ensure the device time is set automatically.

Account locked?

Follow on-screen verification, confirm your email/phone, and try again.

FAQ

Do I need a new account for X?

No. Your existing Twitter credentials still work.

Is logging in via Google or Apple still supported?

Yes, if your account was previously linked.

Which URL should I bookmark?

Bookmark https://x.com/login for simplicity. twitter.com/login also works.

Conclusion

The X Twitter login experience is mostly unchanged—what matters is using secure methods. Enable 2FA, use a password manager, and bookmark the official login page for quick, safe access.
