Twitter's archive download doesn't seem to include bookmarks. Or (as far as I can tell) the usernames of the people you follow or who follow you (just their numerical Twitter user IDs).

To get those bookmarks and username lists: you can use the #opensource web archiving tool Webrecorder’s ArchiveWebPage Chrome extension. Log into Twitter and let the tool run for a bit, and it'll scroll & save for you.

Blog post & short video about it:

@brainwane @edsu Good to know in case I finally get it. I think I requested my archive download more than 72 hours ago. Still waiting…

@brainwane @edsu I just got notified the archive is ready but... I can't login because the 2FA SMS seems to be down again 🤦‍♂️

@brainwane @edsu Update: still no SMS, I got the 2FA code via mail instead.

Warning: whoever is using #Twitter as #SSO, assess the risk
