    Can people steal my account?
    Community Answer
    Yes. Any account with poor passwords or pass phrases can be stolen. Think of a phrase that's at least 10 characters long and has no connection to your life. Swap out the letters for special characters, and do not capitalize the first letter. Change your pass phrases around once a month.

Until that is corrected, you can unlink any of your Twitter accounts from Tweetdeck by clicking the Accounts icon on the left side of the screen, selecting the account, then clicking "Remove Account."

  • Question
    Can I see if someone muted me?
    Community Answer
    You can do this by adding a new Home column for the user you think has muted you. After adding the column, send a tweet (not @ the user, just in general). If you don't see your tweet in that user's Home column, you're likely muted.
