Twitter locked my account

Post by Divvy »

Hello guys,

I paid for this software one week ago but I'm still trying to discover a safe setup to work with...
Today, after I run the follow settings below, my account was locked:

Email received:
Your account may have been compromised by a website or service not associated with Twitter.
We’ve locked your account <usernamehere> to keep it safe. In order to log back in, you must change your password.
Is this normal, to receive this email from Twitter?
What I did wrong? Please advice, thanks!

Never come across that. Did you access from a new IP / proxy that what you normally do?

Never. I always use a proxy for each all my accounts...

EDIT
-------------------------------------

One more account locked.
This was the only action that I did in this account:

Again, what I'm doing wrong?
Please help/advice me. :roll:

EDIT 2
-------------------------------------

I notice that I had 250000 on Settings -> Max Scrape Results
Could be the reason of this issue?
Whats the default value? Is 25000 safe?

With 25000 happened this:

Do I don't think is Max Scrape Results either...
Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong?
Please advice...

your account is not phone verified.

The IP that was used to create the account is the same as you are using to use the account?

Yes it is phone verified, I needed to use my phone to unlock my account, but it is verified.

Yes is the same... I'm the only one with this issue?
This already happened with 3 different accounts.

Do you have any clue of what could be?

so you manually created this account with the proxy
on creation you phone verified
you try and use the account with the creation proxy and get it locked almost straight away



What are you doing with these accounts?
Tweeting?
Posting links?
???

Yeah, that's it. But I'm not 100% sure If I had this same proxy when I created my account last year. Is this important? To have same exactly IP that I had when I create this account? Most IPs changed...

I have 30 accounts, but for now I'm only testing 2 or 3 accounts.
The only action that I'm doing with that account was the follow action that I said in first post:

Same for the 2nd account that was locked:

Weird huh?

Do you think is better to create a new account with my current proxy?

Depends. If you created the account on a data centre IP, then logged in after a year on a different IP, that could trigger a verification depending on the distance between IPs.

I have had it with google and my personal account. I know Instagram are very strict on it.

just basic following shouldn't trigger anything. If were aggressively posting, that would make sense in a way, but have not heard of this.

What happens if you try and log into twitter.com using the proxy and the account?
