Deleting the preferences alone did not work for me.

Nevertheless, interesting enough, I managed to get my account setup again by


1) Deleting the preferences

2) Creating a new account on the twitter website (just use a fake email adress)

3) Logging in via the twitter app with this new account

4) Adding the original account under Preferences, Account

5) Deleting the fake account


Hope this helps,

I had the same issue after manually changing my time to test some issues for work.


The issues persisted even though I had set the time back to Automatic with Apple.


The above fixes didn't fix anythign. However, I did find the following file which had a file with an invalid (future) timestamp:


~/Library/Containers/com.twitter.twitter-mac


I removed that file and opened Twitter.app and I was able to instantly log in.


Hope this helps someone! More info on the process here: Twitter: Unauthorized
