I had to log into my abandoned Twitter/X account to be able to see something shared online 🙄. Login wasn't accepted. Just an endless login failure loop. Figured out I needed to reset my password. The UI doesn't pop-up a "time to reset your password" as is usually the case since... decades.

Logging in or changing my password is super weird; It won't let me type past one letter without forcing a long pause (bad validation script?). Once I successfully reset password, autofill of my 2FA authentication code does not work — unless I manually type it in. Also, this is all really slow.

None of this login UI weirdness existed whenever I last had to log in to Twitter/X months ago. Many users would give up and not figure out workarounds like I did. This is utterly user-hostile, badly designed and un-tested UX.

Upon signing-in X Money had sent me $5. By the look-of-it I couldn't access that $5 until I pay for a "verified" account; This is an ad to get me using and paying for X. Gotta love the dollar sign logo icon repeating twice-in-a-row in both green and white. The same art repeating in two contexts? 🤷‍♂️
