Instructions on how to login into twitter accounts using the "workaround cookie login" method.
Warning: This is only a proof-of-concept workaround which may work or may not and the process of this cookie login may also get changed- or removed in the future!
Disclaimer: JDownloader may perform a lot of http requests which could potentially get your twitter account banned!
1. Get the free- and open source addon "EditThisCookie" for your browser: editthiscookie.com.
2. Open the twitter.com main page and log in into your twitter account.
3. While your twitter.com tab is still open, Click on the "EditThisCookie" icon in the upper right corner of your browser window --> Export your cookies

4. Now you should have a really long string in your clipboard looking like this but much longer:
Code:
[
{
"domain": ".twitter.com",
"hostOnly": false,
"httpOnly": true,
"name": "_twitter_sess",
"path": "/",
"sameSite": "unspecified",
"secure": true,
"session": true,
"storeId": "0",
"value": "CENSORED",
"id": 1
},[...]
Go in JDownloader --> Account Manager --> Add account --> Twitter.com --> Enter your username in username and enter that long String as your password --> Confirm that --> If everything is working as expected, your twitter account should get accepted by JDownloader which means you can e.g. add URLs which lead to restricted content e.g. for which an account is required.
I recommend you to only enable your twitter account to download content for which an account is required!
