Why Twitter won't let you create new accounts
Table of contents:
Have you tried to create a new Twitter account and get an error? Wondering why Twitter won't let you create new accounts or recover others when trying to update your password? Well, there is a problem that is preventing the registration process and that has left the blue bird social network without new accounts And what is worse, without recover existing ones if you have forgotten your password.
The Twitter error comes in the form of a message when you are about to finish the task of registering or creating a new account. Warns you that “registration cannot be completed at this time”After accepting the notice, the process ends and your account remains uncreated or undeleted. So, right now, Twitter would be focused on its own death until this problem is fixed and new accounts can be created.
When registering on Twitter, the social network requests that you enter a name for the account, a telephone number for registration and a date of birth to identify the user's age. As an alternative, it is possible to use an email instead of a phone number. However, the error still occurs in both cases
The problem resides at the time of user verification This security process is carried out when receiving an SMS, if we choose the Via the telephone number, or an email if we opt for email. Thanks to that code we can identify ourselves as the user who is creating a new account by copying and pasting it in the registration process.When clicking on the Next button, the error message that we mentioned above appears. And it is that the registration cannot be completed. So all that remains is to accept and see how everything starts again.
The same happens if you have started the password change process. By not remembering it, a verification process is also started that involves receiving a code and transferring it to Twitter. The result is the same since it is not possible to move forward With which your account will remain in limbo without being able to use or recover it. At least for the moment.
The problem occurs whether you try to keep track on your computer or through the mobile app. And it doesn't matter the platform or the browser. Nor that you get rid of the cache and cookies of your Internet browser. Which makes it clear that the error depends exclusively on the Twitter platform A technical failure that should not take too long if they do not want to lose the opportunity to have new users.
But why doesn't Twitter let you create new accounts?
Although at the moment there is no official statement, everything points to a failure in the registration system. A problem that can occur as in any other service or social network. However, it is not usual for this type of error to last for several hours since welcoming new users is a key point for the good he alth of a social network. Here, then, the decisions of Elon Musk in recent months, since he acquired the company, enters into debate.
BREAKING: Twitter has around 1, 300 employees today, per CNBC, from 7, 500 in November.

In any case, very different from the 7,500 that there were when he took over the company. Something that could have resulted in operating problems or errors that take longer than desired to be resolved.
Therefore, it only remains to wait for the engineers to solve the problem and return the correct operation to this verified system. In addition to solving other problems with image loading, delays or warnings that have been occurring in recent days.
