Wow. I have an early Twitter handle and they let me turn off password resets without additional information. (I think you have to enter the email under which I've registered before it will send the request.)
- bredren 5y agoHow early? My main is in the first 12,000.
- wpietri 5y agoI just checked and this appears to be for accounts of any vintage. If you go here: https://twitter.com/settings/security https://twitter.com/settings/security Turn on "password reset protect" and it will require "either the phone number or email address associated with your account in order to reset your password". I'm not sure it adds a ton of security, but it definitely cuts down on the password reset emails.
- skunkworker 5y agoI personally know someone with a two letter twitter handle that is a word in the english language, for awhile there they were inundated with password request attempts, but it took knowing someone 1-1 inside of twitter security in order to put additional locks on their account, beyond what any config will show unfortunately.
- nevster 5y agoI have a 3 letter twitter username and I definitely get password reset requests but not too often - about 1 or 2 a month
