Twitter is one of the major social networking platforms; It is the online platform that people use to express their views or opinions on a topic. You get all the information about the latest trends and news only from Twitter. Most of the celebrities and famous personalities connect with people through their Twitter account. Due to all this, Twitter accounts have become more vulnerable to hacking and that is why it has become more important to protect your Twitter account.
Unfortunately, if you have had your Twitter account hacked, this blog will talk about all the possible ways to get your Twitter account back.
Before that, let me tell you that when someone tries to hack into your account, they know your password or try to reset it if they have access to your email address or phone number. So you have to watch out for that. So, whenever you get an email that says if you’ve requested a password reset for your account, click this button, you should first see if the email is from the official Twitter email address or if someone is trying to scam you.

In case the hacker has changed your Twitter password, here are the options you have:
1. Recover your Twitter account using email address or phone number
