I just visited the profile of MasterOfPenguins_Zell, and I got a twitter authentication password pop up thingy:

I've tried going on a few other random profiles (some that definitely have twitter integration enabled) and I don't get this there, but when I go on his profile I get it every time.

When I try to sync my twitter account, it just pops up a password thing and then just hangs and doesn't do anything.

Is it possible to "un-sync" your Twitter account? I've been trying to figure that out for a while.

{I had put this question in the Officially Official Giant Bomb Twitter thread but it seems better here)

EDIT (But I deleted it before I posted it here)

I've seen this happen on a lot of pages, but I kept forgetting to report it.

So is this the place to report it? Or is there a solution I just haven't found in the forums yet?

This happens to me a few times as well. Especially when I go to other profile pages for other users. I am glad I am not alone.

My Twitter account is still active. I just decided I don't want to use it on Giantbomb anymore so I made Twitter private again.

I am having the exact same problem.  Only get the password, not the name on the twitter account.

I'm having this problem in my profile because I deleted my Twitter account. Whenever I go to my profile, it asks for me username and password just like that

Just noticed even if I'm not signed in to GiantBomb. The Twitter API still tries to log me in.

The twitter feed will always appear, logged in or not, for all users who have an account synched. Even logged out users may find a user's Twitter updates useful.

The problem with your Twitter account is that it's either private or doesn't exist. The logging out thing is not the problem.
