Has anyone here ever experienced this?
He only uses X on his computer. After logging in, he first receives a code via email (I get that too—I guess that's standard now).
Then he has to prove that he's human. He has to scan a QR code, which takes him to a page on his phone where he can choose:
Fingerprint, biometric scan, or selfie. (All of which are forms of biometrics.)
His comment: "Okay, so X is probably joining the EU too—in that case, no more X."
I agree—I think that's really cheeky—especially since he can't be a bot if he's receiving the code via email and entering it.

hello MP
X doesn't require biometrics to log in except for premium accounts when they select it.
- verify if the mail came from " [email protected] " it's clean procedure. if it comes from another mail address, it's spam and scam . change password and clean the pc.
- biometrics for x are optional for premium accounts , verify with

Thx for your answer.... he don´t have a premium account.
And it´s no e-mail. The Mail only sends the code...then you can enter the code on the site - and the site gives the QR Code...
You scan it and it goes to the phone.... with the requirement of the biometric data.
Never saw that before...
And the domain IS X.com , on all sites.
He can´t change his password, because he can´t login anymore.

If he succeed to log in , tell him to check the 2FA settings.
So he can recognize what he will receive in the future verification messages.
Go to :
Settings ... Security and account access ... security ... 2FA

alright , that can be a bot check security thing ... but via a third party company , not X team ( i hate all of this data gathering they do)
can he try this :
- clear his browser cookies and history .. close it and go in incognito mode .. reopen X website , try to log in
- open x on phone, if he dont have app , install it . log in and try to update birthday date and personal info and password

Deleting cookies don´t work - we tried on different Laptops/PCs - all the same.
We will try incognity mode on Sunday....We have to leave right away :)

Incognity mode is my standard way to go when it comes to social media (except for tangled lol). Besides my browser does not store history or cookies. Both are deleted when i close it.

used to do the same thing , i love incognito that really work (most of browsers keep storing cache and use trackers)
last solution for this situation ... the freezer , or washing machine 😂

Nah, i dont think so. 1. They once banned me for reasons they never told me but unbanned me because i did nothing wrong. Since than i have never used a VPN when surfing on X. To be safe, i closed X whenever i turned on the VPN. Biometrics seems to be a new thing on X. 2. Go and try making a new account. No way without biometrics.

What's happening to you is one of few reasons I hate that platform.
Yes will create new account to test it

I think there is no such a thing like a really safe browser, but this is the closest to beeing safe i ever saw so far: https://mullvad.net/de/browser
Nothing works.
He tried to register with another mail adress, but then the same happpens. Maybe for all new accounts now?

Weird a bit.
Another tiny thing to try
Reset the rooter , flush DNS (with CMD), turn off VPN if used.

That´s so kind of you - yes, please try it :)
X is currently almost the only way for Germans to access uncensored news. My account is still working, but I'm trying to stay under the radar so it stays that way.

I just created an account and it didn't ask for biometrics.
Just showed an option to add a passkey to secure the account, I skipped it.
No trouble to create account except finding available username (I picked undoitmf 😅)

I simply never log out. No need to since no one else uses my computer.

Not an option on the pc. And a security flaw—our browsers clear their data when they close.

Advantage to living alone. I stay logged in on almost all sites I visit since there is no one else in the house to use the computer. I don't visit but a handful of sites & I don't 'surf' the web so I don't have to really worry about a hacker getting access to it.
