TikTok users report that they can no longer log in through Twitter / X

TikTok users used to be able to log in through their Twitter/X accounts, now they can't.

Some TikTok users have been X-ed out of their accounts.

When the social media platform first launched users could choose to sign up through their preexisting social media platforms. But since Twitter became X, those who created their accounts with Twitter report challenges logging in.

The bug doesn't log users out but makes it difficult to log back in after signing out.

On the subreddit r/TikTokHelp one user explained that after being logged out of their TikTok account they can no longer log back in even though they know their username and password because it requires them to go through Twitter to log in. The replies are filled with people who encountered the same problem. Others report that they can log in on a desktop but not on the TikTok app.

While there's no solution and some opted to create new accounts, according to the Reddit thread using a VPN can circumvent the issue. Another user suggested downloading the Twitter app and trying to log in through the app rather than the desktop version of Twitter.

The problem existed since Twitter became X and has yet to be fixed with more users encountering it every time they get signed out.
