Can you log in to Twitter?


Can you log in to Twitter?


  👤 killdozer Accepted Answer ✓
No, the error i get is for the url `https://api.twitter.com/1.1/onboarding/sso_init.json` and the error is "Over capacity" code 130. The client keeps looping on this call too so idk if the load will ever dissipate lol.

Yes, I had the same issue.

Just right now logged in, and Twitter proposes next pop-up:[img]

    Boost your account security
    Protect your account with two-factor authentication. Once enrolled, you won’t be prompted to confirm your identity again. Learn more about #https://help.twitter.com/managing-your-account/two-factor-authentication.
On this floating pop-up URL to help docs inserted with prefaced `#`, turning link into tweet search query:[0]

Its weird.

UPDATE: Twitter again logged me out and continuously flickering with "Error" popup:

    Error
    Something went wrong, but don’t fret — it’s not your fault. Let’s try again.
UPDATE2: Now (0223 UTC), one minute after previous update, after refresh Twitter works again and keeps me logged in.

UPDATE3: Twitter just logged me out again (0255 UTC). Since previous update I was able to tweet about issue with URL on "Boost your account security" pop-up.[1,2]

UPDATE4: Twitter still flickering (0310 UTC) logging me in and out, but I was able to reply to ex-CEO on their "Works for me" claim with pop-up issue screen.[3]

I do not recommend logging out as I believe it's broken now.

I was trying to add 2FA to my account when I was asked to log out and could not log in back. Either it was fortuitous or I was the one who inadvertently broke it. :|

edit (12-29T00:49Z): Inspecting dev console logs, it seems to be trying to load resources from `ton.local.twitter.com` which is unresolvable.

edit (12-29T00:59Z): Seems to be resolved.

I was shown an error page with an option to refresh or log out, and refreshing just got the same error. Now login seems to be down.

👤 jsscclr
Nope! Actually got asked to log out.

👤 iKlsR
It logged me out an hour ago and locked two empty accounts that I was in, then it randomly asked me to add 2fa, logged in again and was logged out shortly after. Console is saying "over capacity". Mobile is moving shaky as well but seems fine there for now.

👤 runarberg
Not me. Was automatically logged out of the web app, and am unable to log back in because error.

👤 u320
Nope, it worked fine until 5 minutes ago, got logged out and can't log in.

👤 gomijacogeo
It was broken, then it worked, then it was broken, and now it works again.

Also, remember, if you got logged out, you've been bumped out of 'latest' mode if you were using it.


👤 outside1234
Nope - and can't fetch timeline either.

The elawn apocalypse is upon us.
