How do I get Safari to recognize my Twitter account which it summarily blocked! I can get it on Firefox, but less convenient, not linked to my other devices. Also, not a problem on my iPhone, go figure!

A restart helps 'reset' the computer. You can delete the other account, but you might want to leave it there for troubleshooting purposes. If something happens to your regular account, you will have another account to boot into to troubleshoot the problem.


I would uninstall Avast. It tends to interfere with the computer's operation while providing minimal to no benefit unless you work with Windows files. Most long time posters recommend not using antivirus software or cleaning software such as CleanMyMac.
