Twitter’s 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) Code Failed to Send?
Two-factor authentication on Twitter adds an extra layer of security to your account.
However, if you lose your phone or text messages don’t work, you won’t be able to access your account.
If you have two-factor authentication turned on, you’re required to enter a code when you sign in.
You will receive the code via text message and you need an internet connection.
However, a lot of users do not receive the code even though they have a valid phone number.
In this guide, you will learn how to fix Twitter 2FA (2-factor authentication) codes that are not working, not sending, or not receiving.

Why doesn’t Twitter send 2FA codes?
Twitter didn’t send the 2FA code because you blocked the number 40404.
The number 40404 comes from Twitter, so you need to unblock it to receive the message.
According to the Twitter team, they are aware that some people are having trouble requesting and receiving codes.
Therefore, if you don’t have any blocked numbers but still can’t get the code, it’s Twitter’s fault.
Here’s what @TwitterSupport tweeted back in November, “We’re looking into some cases where SMS codes weren’t sent”.
Users were furious in the comments, and most of them said they had trouble getting the 2FA code.
“Twitter could not send me text message verification code for 2FA.”
“If you have 2FA, avoid logging out of Twitter. You may not be able to sign in again.”
“What’s going on with Twitter? I can’t login on desktop because OTP for 2FA doesn’t come via SMS.”
How to fix Twitter 2FA not working
To fix Twitter 2FA not working, you need to unblock 40404 numbers or all your blocked contacts.
Once you’ve unblocked your contacts, try sending the code again.
Alternatively, you can turn off 2FA on a device that’s signed in to Twitter (e.g. twitter.com on your computer).
If you still don’t receive the 2FA code, you need to wait until Twitter fixes the problem or contact them for help.
According to Twitter, they are aware of the problem and are actively working on a fix.
Method 1: Unblock your contacts
How to unblock contacts on iOS:
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and select “Phone”.
- Select “Blocked Contacts”.
- Tap on “Edit” and tap the “-” icon on 40404 or all numbers.
- Open Twitter and try sending the code again.
How to unblock contacts on Android:
- Open the Phone app.
- Tap the three-dot icon.
- Select “Settings” followed by “Blocked Numbers”.
- Select the “X” icon followed by “Unblock” on 40404 or all numbers.
- Open Twitter and try sending the code again.
Method 2: Turn off 2FA on the device that is logged into Twitter
- Open Twitter on the device that is currently signed into Twitter (for example, if you’re still logged into Twitter on your computer via twitter.com, you can still access Twitter there).
- Go to Settings and support > Settings and privacy > Security and account access.
- Security > Two-Factor Authentication > Disable “Text Messages/Authentication Apps/Security Keys”.
Note: As long as you have a device currently logged into Twitter (e.g. computer, laptop, tablet), you can disable 2FA there.
Method 3: Contact Twitter support
- Go https://help.twitter.com/en/forms/account-access/regain-access/2fa-problem (or go to the Twitter Help Center and search for “2FA”).
- Enter your Twitter username and email address.
- Describe that you did not receive a confirmation/verification code and that you need help accessing your account.
- Submit the form and wait for Twitter’s response for a few days.
Note: Due to the large volume of requests, it may take several days to receive a response from Twitter.
