Connecting to twitter

Questions
1

Total newbie here. After filling up all the necessary keys, I was redirected to a blank webpage that asks for username and password. What should I input in there?

Welcome to the community @aero !

I assume you mean the Twitter-OAuth screen. There you would write in your Twitter username and your Twitter password.

Tried the username and password of twitter. It didn’t work. The link I was being redirected to was from the o-auth redirect url given by the n8n windows app.

Hey @aero,

I tested it on my n8n desktop app and was able to replicate the issue. I’ll get back to you with a solution.

A couple of people have reported odd issues with the localtunnel URL that gets generated, @aero could you try removing the desktop app and making sure the .n8n folder in the users home directory is gone then install it again (backup any workflows you may want to keep).

Hey @aero,

A quick fix would be to get the username and password of your n8n instance and use it to log in to n8n. Run the following command in your terminal and copy the displayed username and password.

cat ~/.n8n/n8n-desktop.env

Thank @aero for letting us know. I am glad you are now able to connect n8n and Twitter! I’ve informed the engineers about the bug, and hopefully, it will get fixed soon :slight_smile:
