Same issue, can't log back in now

same, my own custom API keys get rejected (because they dont have Elevated access?), default ones just do nothing. Please fix.

Use these keys from the TwidereX app:

ConsumerKey=wmtrtTaVOjUnH5pWQp4LDI5Qs
ConsumerSecret=E9Q9u2yK0COJae2tLcNEdY75OPA3bxqJiGZQztraHaQUtoI2cu

This solves the problem, thank you!

Unless I'm updating them wrong (likely) , the twidereX keys don't work for me 🙁

Worked for me when (with each key) I deleted 'ConsumerKey=' and 'ConsumerSecret=', and used the rest of it.

[GONin3D]

Got it! Had to update each, then try to add a new account, then authorized for my current account instead of creating a new one. It told me I was already logged in and everything loaded correctly.

Thank you. This is the only useable twitter app for android

[umbellipher]

You can always access Settings when signed out, and it's in there as an option. Glad it worked out.

How exactly? Can you provide clarification, please?

What worked for me is:

1. Go to Settings > Network > Avanced > Default API Settings
2. Replace the consumer key and consumer secret with those above and save
3. Go to Accounts and click the + in the top right
4. Choose Twitter > User Settings
5. Click Register, then the Sign In button, this should take you to an authorization page
6. Go through the authorization steps
7. Refresh your timelines

Granted, there's probably steps in this that you don't need to do or that may be faster since I'm not well-versed, but this specific set of steps had the correct amount of voodoo magic to get mine working.

Thanks! Not sure what I did, but I'm able to login to Twitter with Twidere (no 'X') using the Twidere X keys. I basically stabbed at my phone for a good 5 minutes, trying random stuff, until I got the browser login screen for Twitter. Then everything was working. Adding this for others to demonstrate that with perseverance this method works.

Great success. Thank you very much QS for the assist.

I noticed that I was unable to log in with 2FA set up so I had to revert, and then reinstate after authentication.

Also, every time a login failed the API key/secret would revert back to the prior input. I noticed that I had to verify on each login attempt that the "new" TwidereX key/secret were being used.

Best of luck to anyone out there I had a dark, dark 72 hours of having to communicate with my family.
