you can't log in with an email address like this
without looking at the code, the reason is that "xxxx@xxxx" can not be sent via 
http to twitter because the 
server will interpret the @ symbol as part of the URL and basically it will not 
work
users should not enter their email address like this, they should use their 
username

Disable the ability to login with email address. Easy fix.

Temporary disabled a possibility to login using basic authentication. Basic auth
will be removed completely in next release cycle.
