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!
MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15
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.

Are you running any anti - virus programs? Using a VPN?
Try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If it works in the Safe Mode, try running this program when booted normally and then copy and paste the output in a reply. The program was created by Etresoft, a frequent contributor. Please use copy and paste as screen shots can be hard to read. Click “Share Report” button in the toolbar, select “Copy to Clipboard” and then paste into a reply. This will show what is running on your computer. No personal information is shown. If the log won’t post, try posting it in Pastebin and provide a link in a reply. After pasting the report in a PasteBin page, go to the top of the page, and copy the address in the URL bar. Paste that in a new reply. Pastebin

Thank you. Yes, I am running AvastSecurity. Will try the other suggestions and report back.
So, I created a new admin user account and can log onto Twitter with that on Safari. Does this give enough information or I still need to try Safe Mode?
Not that I understand why, but now Safari is giving me Twitter with my normal admin user account. Can I delete the one I made to isolate the problem?
Twitter log in dropped
