How do I change my Twitter password?
I have a Twitter account to be able to read posts on it. Now, I get asked to verify my password, but I can't find the paper where it's written down. When I try to access the "Change My Password" function, I'm asked to enter the lost password first.
Any advice on how to do this without entering the old password? Do I have to take down this account and start a new one?
Thanks for any help.

I feel that Twitter should remember you by name and phone number or by your IPadress. It should not be on us for them to remember you are a loyal customer. But I am old so there's that.

Perhaps try to logging via PC and enter forgot password when doing so. It should give you an option to authenticate another way ie mobile sms or via email link.
Good luck

Thanks for your suggestion.
