Hi Jennifer,


Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I would appreciate if you can provide us the following information to help us understand the issue better.

• Does this happen only with Microsoft Edge? Did you check with other browsers?

I would like to inform you that 403 response generally indicates one of two conditions:

• Authentication was provided, but the authenticated user is not permitted to perform the requested operation.
• The operation is forbidden to all users. For example, requests for a directory listing return code 403 when directory listing has been disabled.

As of now, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

Step 1:

I suggest you to check if you get the error when you try to sign in to your
twitter account sign in page through In private window.
