Ever forgotten the username of your old Twitter account and are stuck in the endless cycle of password resetting? We understand how annoying this is. But no worries. In this post, we’ll share with you several tips on how to find the Twitter username without getting into the torturing cycle. And they actually work!

1. Check your email box

This is an easy yet clever trick to find the Twitter username if you forgot¹. If you still have access to the email address that’s used for registering your Twitter and don’t clear your mailbox much, you can find the old username from there.

Simply navigate to the mailbox and search for emails sent from Twitter, because they normally mention usernames in these emails. Then search for the titles like ‘security alert’ or ‘confirm your Twitter account’.

Check if there are any emails of this kind. If so, you’ll easily locate the username. But if the option leads to nowhere, you can try a people search tool.

2. Search by phone number

Intelius is one of the best reverse phone number search tools. With its access to large amounts of publicly available data, Intelius can help you to find the possible Twitter accounts linked to the phone number. Simply enter the number, and it will present you with a report that may include the linked social media accounts, addresses, and more details of the number searched.

1. Go to Intelius.
2. Enter the phone number and click SEARCH.
   
3. Click CONFIRM and the search will start.
4. Wait until it finishes and click the VIEW REPORT button. The report may include the owner’s contact info, address, social accounts, and more. You’ll need to purchase a plan before you can view the report.

3. Run a reverse email lookup

Running an email lookup will also help you find the Twitter username since one needs to provide their email address for registration.

To do that, we recommend BeenVerified. It’s a leading social media search engine with access to a large reservoir of data. Enter an email address, it’ll give you the linked social accounts, contact info, and owner – if you’re researching others. You can initiate the search by typing in the email address in the search box below and clicking Search Now.

BeenVerified is a subscription-based service. During the subscription, you can access its email, phone number, address, and vehicle lookup features. All of that can help you find the Twitter username more easily.

4. Contact support

If all of the above methods don’t work for you, you should contact the help center and ask for assistance.

Or if you have a spare account, you can log in and get more customized help from there. Tell them that you didn’t remember the username and password, and they will send you a link to reset the password. Note that it only works when you still have access to the original email address.

That’s pretty much all the tricks to help you find the Twitter username fast. We hope you get some luck as you search for the username and don’t have to be stuck in the endless password resetting process.
