People Using Third Party Apps Can’t Log Into Twitter At The Moment

If you are using a third party Twitter client, chances are you can’t use Twitter right now.

Tweetbot and other clients are experiencing problems logging in to Twitter. We’ve reached out to Twitter for more details, but haven’t heard back.
