Ok computer techs, what say you?

[Spongebob]

I've tried several times to ask for a new password, and 4 times it sent me a new code, but when I got to my page, it didn't ask me for a conformation code, it asked me to log in as if I didn't need a password, now Twitter keeps telling me I have to wait because of "suspicious activity". 

I really hate big businesses that do not have call centers so you can have a live person walk you through the problem. Even my local cable company has people I can talk to live, even after hours to get help. In fact, I forgot my local email through my cable company, and got that password reset so I could have Twitter send me a new code to my local cable email. 

Twitter keeps dumping me to the standard log in as if I knew my password, then when I try too many times it tells me to wait. I am stuck in a fucking loop.

It's not possible for another person to use the same Twitter user name as you.  These have to be unique.  If someone else is using your username, you've been hacked.

And why aren't you using a password manager, like Lastpass, or at least saving your passwords in your browser?

The entire reason I got in this mess yesterday was because Facebook Crashed, and I stupidly thought I got hacked on Facebook. Normally when you get a slowdown, or hiccup, clearing your cache and cookies and history clears things up. In my case it also erased my password history too. Fortunately for me I remember the password for this site and Facebook, but not Twitter. Now I cant log back into my Twitter account. 

Occasionally a cookie will reset my browser from Google to Yahoo, and I will have to go to my settings and switch it back. 

If I had simply done nothing and waited, I wouldn't be in this mess. I panicked and assumed the worst. And that made it worse.

I repeat, why aren't you using a password manager, like Lastpass, or at least saving your passwords in your browser?  There's no possible way to remember all the passwords we use today.  Don't even try.  Let a PW manager do that, or your browser.

Somewhat related. Did anyone else watch the big Facebook whistleblower on 60 min Sunday night? I saw that she is in a congressional hearing today. Can we request a breakup of Facebook?

And I'm convinced this event is related to the outage yesterday. FB must have done some massive recoding.
