Twitter log in attempt emails...

[Turn7]

Last few weeks, every time I log into Twitter on the PC, I get an email telling me .

Ive looked at all the settings in the account bit that I can find but cant stop the bloody thing.

Anybody help please ?

I had two texts from Twitter yesterday. They both said: "Enter this code to reset your Twitter password: xxxxxxxx". WTF is that about?

Someone is trying to reset your twitter password to gain access to or hijack your account.

I dont think so, because its always after I log into my accoubt on the pc.

On the phone, Im a;ways logged in.

How do I know an email is from Twitter?
Links in this email will start with “https://” and contain “twitter.com.” Your browser will also display a padlock icon to let you know a site is secure.

Are these genuine? Never followed them up.

If you are concerned about the security of your Twitter account it is easy to set up two step verification. Twitter send you an SMS with a code to type in each time you log in.
