New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on August 10, 2022) follows:
Online microblogging service and social networking site, Twitter, is one of the most popular social platforms in the world.
Twitter keeps users updated with the help of its ‘Trending topics’ feature. Users mostly find the trending hashtags or relevant news based on their preferences as identified by Twitter’s algorithm.
That said, it becomes quite unpleasant when users stop gaining access to their Twitter accounts.
Recently, many users began reporting (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) an issue where they are unable to log into their accounts. Twitter is sending expired verification codes to its users repeatedly.
This issue has left many users utterly frustrated. We’ve added a few reports below for reference:
Soon after users began reporting that the verification codes are expired, Twitter started serving some of its users with an error message that reads:
Official acknowledgment
The Twitter team is aware of the issue and is investigating the same, but there is no ETA for a fix yet.
Unfortunately, we haven’t come across any workarounds that can help mitigate the issue with Twitter sending expired verification codes. You’ll have to wait at least until the team comes up with a fix.
That said, we will keep tabs on the latest developments and update this article as and when anything noteworthy comes up.
Update 1 (September 14, 2022)
07:20 pm (IST): It has been over a month since the issue was acknowledged by Twitter but users (1,2,3) are still reporting issues related to Email verification.
Update 2 (October 11, 2022)
12:30 pm (IST): It appears that this issue has now been resolved as one of our readers allegedly received a valid Twitter verification code.
