I don't want other people falling for what I fell for, so I'm going to post on behalf of my mistakes, one of the worst is buying something, trying too swap it but then someone else gets it.

Securing a twitter!

1 - Sign into your desired account which you just purchased/traded.
2 - Change the password and email instantly.
3 - Revoke access from any suspicious content.
4 - Click here and scroll down.
5 - Tick the box which says "Require personal information to reset my password".
6 - Save changes.
7 - If you wish, protect your tweets.
8 - If the twitter is active, it will get taken back if the support team bother.
9 - Make sure you don't authorize the account with anything dodgy/suspicious.
10 - If you want, read below and learn how too make your account 10x more secure by swapping it!

Swapping a twitter!

1 - Open a different browser, you can find some here.
2 - Open both browser(s).
3 - Sign into/make a new account on twitter.
4 - You can either download a auto-refresh add on to your browser, or just keep pressing save changes/create account.
5 - Don't tell anyone about the twitter you just purchased, unless you can trust them with everything.
6 - Whoever you bought it from, tell them you might be keeping it on a fresh log-in/their stat account, then tell them you're going offline.
7 - Once they're gone offline or you're back, try swapping as soon as possible.
8 - Open both browsers and type in your password in a notepad file and copy and paste it.
9 - Make sure both password(s) work correctly and that you hit "save changes" on time.
10 - Best of luck purchasing/successfully swapping the twitter.

Sorry about not posting pictures or anything, couldn't really be bothered, but make sure everything is legit and a smooth deal, use a middle-man/woman of your tradents/seller(s) choice and yours.

No problem.

I'd hate seeing people upset after their desired handle went running along with some unwanted owners, a few companies like this ruin the community, and once someone reports them and tells them that they took their handle, they respond with this.

No-one had the username.

No offense but this is wrong especially the securing part lol. But the swapping part isn't bad, just make sure your internet hasn't been acting up. Thanks for the tut for other users!

I'm sorry, I hooked this up with what I use for all my handles, and have had no problem at all using this tutorial, some things may be false, but it's better being secure than having no more, thanks for the response.

If you get a twitter, there is one way they can't get it back but i'm not saying how :X It's the reason @Cat wasn't taken back.

I don't know this way, but if it's a nice way, keep it secret, unfortunately the company turbo team @re4k took @cat.

re4k has nothing to do with the twitter team. It's funny, they're japanese yet know nothing about security.

Oh right, they literally await and take any original handles then basically keep them forever, it's really annoying.

I honestly think they got lucky with Cat. That or the person didn't know how to swap a twitter handle.
