# Twitter Authentication failed.

 * Just recently the WordPress Social login is failing for Twitter logins.
 * When trying to login using Twitter, the redirect shows :
 * “Authentication failed. Either you have cancelled the authentication or Twitter
   refused the connection.”
    + “Authentication denied! Twitter returned denied token”
 * Do I need to recreated new Twitter API tokens?
 * Suggestions would be very welcome.
 * Thanks,
 * Stephan

 * Found the issue.
 * The new version of the “All In One WP Security” plugin blocked an endpoint URL
   of the plugin. After disabling the security plugin, the social login worked again.
   Will need to fine tune .htaccess
