How can I connect my social account to my profile?
Updated over 3 months ago

Currently, you can connect your Twitter or Instagram account to your profile. Connecting one or both of these to your profile adds another layer of authentication for users on OpenSea. Let’s get started!

If your account is verified, social connections fields will be locked for security purposes. You'll need to speak with our support team in order to make changes.

Connecting your Twitter account

1. Navigate to your Profile icon and select Settings.

What if I can't disconnect my Twitter/X or Instagram account?

If you're looking to disconnect your X/Twitter or Instagram account, and you previously connected it with a URL rather than a direct connection via OAuth, you'll need to first follow the steps above to directly connect it. You should then be able to disconnect. For more help, speak with a member of our Support team.
