So a few days ago I purchased a new iPad mini and tried to sign in with my twitter via settings, but to no avail. It kept saying my username/PW was incorrect. I knew they were not but anyhow I went online and changed my PW. Again it still didnt work. So this time I deleted my account from my iPhone and reinstalled the app. I tried to sign in through iOS and the actual app but got the same error message, as well as a 'authentication failed' message.

Is this a problem anyone else is having? I'm wondering if it's something to do with twitters new 2 step authentication system?


(Oh and I'm running the latest versions of iOS)
 
Do you have any extra authentication enabled for your Twitter account (like the 2-step authentication or anything like that)?
