Ella Musk seems to be in another pickle, and she has decided to drag us in with her.
With Twitter recently announcing changes to its API, The influence of Genshin players who use their Twitter accounts to log into the game now may need to reconnect their accounts to a different login method.
API stands for Application Programming Interface and is the software interface that allows two different applications to communicate with each other.
@TwitterDevthe official account for Twitter’s development team, announced on Thursday (2 February) that the social media site will no longer support free access to the API starting on 9 February.
Instead, companies, websites and applications that use Twitter’s login feature will need to take advantage of a paid foundation scheme to continue API access.
This policy change is one of many attempts to monetize Twitter since billionaire Elon Musk bought the company last year.
In response to this notice, The influence of Genshin Developer HoYoverse has asked players who use the game’s “login with Twitter” function to link their accounts to their emails to avoid any login problems in the future.
HoYovers said in a tweet that they are “in the process of confirming the impact of the Twitter API adjustments on game account logins”.
The developer added that they are looking for “corresponding secrets” and encouraged players to link their email address to their account through the official HoYoverse account page.
This is not the first time The influence of Genshin players experienced problems logging into the game through third-party sites.
Last month, HoYoverse warned players about an increasing number of cases of unauthorized logins and account theft as a result of phishing sites from unknown sources.
The developer said it discovered that many of the affected accounts are “logged in to third-party websites and applications from unknown sources”, opening them up to phishing attacks.
