Legacy Verified

The Legacy Verified browser extension enables people to add a green purple verified logo next to names of accounts on Twitter that were previously verified. Uses data provided by Travis Brown and initiated by Oliver Alexander.

Features

  • Adds purple badges to nearly all existing locations on the site
  • Verifies a users profile page using their user_id
  • Uses screen_name as verification methods on all other locations due to lack of embedded user_id for timelines and status pages
  • Has support for TweetDeck
  • Compatible between Firefox, MS Edge, Chrome and Brave
