I just tried it on my now account. It asks for the account's username, phone number, email and then sends an email to the email address. Perhaps he didn't add an email address to his Twitter account?
- simiones 3y agoI also experimented a bit. I was able to reset my own password only with phone access when 2FA was not enabled: in the reset password flow, I started with my phone number, was then asked for my username and email, and then I was presented with an option to send the reset code either to my email or to my phone number. But, I then enabled 2FA (with an authentication app), and now when I try the flow again, I get to the screen for sending the reset code and I only have the email option left (but the screen still shows up as an extra step). So, it's possible that when you have 2FA enabled you can no longer do it. Or, it's possible I've triggered some internal rules by resetting my password twice in a short span of time (and enabling 2FA as well) and they've bumped me to some kind of "extra verification" flow that disabled phone-based password reset.
