Getting a Twitter username already in use can be a difficult task as the algorithm does not allow that. However, if you want a particular username and inactive account, you can secure it with simple steps. Here are the five things you can do to get the desired name for your Twitter handle.

Secure a corresponding domain: You need to enter your desired username in the list and secure it by adding a ".com" at the end of your profile.

Select the .com as a primary site: You need to go to your Twitter profile and add the above URL as the Primary website.

Inactive account: You need to ensure that the username you are willing to take is inactive.

1. You can enter the username in the search option and check if there is an egg in the profile.
2. The white egg in the green box will tell you that the account hasn't been active for a long time.

1. Go to the Help Center option on Twitter first.
2. You will find the two drop-down menus on the page.
3. Choose the issue of impersonation from the above drop-down menu.
4. Now choose the I am being impersonated option in the second box.
5. You have to enter the username you want in the next step.
6. Enter the email address and hit the Continue button.
7. Provide other required details and attach the documents like your license or voter id to support your claim.
