Twitter Blue subscribers will be the platform’s only users able to use text messages as a two-factor authentication method, Twitter announced.

Twitter Blue subscribers will be the platform’s only users able to use text messages as a two-factor authentication method, Twitter announced Friday. The change will take place on March 20. Twitter users will have two other ways to authenticate their Twitter log-ins at no cost: an authentication mobile app and a security key. Two factor authentication, or 2FA, requires users to type in their password and then enter a code or security key to access their accounts.

“So starting today, we will no longer allow accounts to enroll in the text message/SMS method of 2FA unless they are Twitter Blue subscribers.” Twitter Blue, which costs $11 a month for iOS and Android subscribers, adds a blue checkmark to the account of anyone willing to pay for one. As of 2021, only 2.6% of Twitter users had a 2FA method enabled – and of those, 74.4% used SMS authentication, a Twitter account security report said.

Nope

This is just rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic. Elon failed, just sell the company he is incompetent.

Twitter ♥️ fraudsters

CNN & THEIR DOUBLE STANDARD: Lemon had put his hand down his own pants, rubbed his private parts and then shoved his fingers into Hice’s face.

What does this mean?

His mouth chased his ad revenue away

SMS 2FA is insecure anyhow. Great feature for people stupid enough to pay.

As if that’s some kind of perk. 😂

Sources with knowledge of conversations say a White House meeting over the environmental disaster, the “F)ck Ohio they voted “ for Trump.

I'll never registered up for it. It's shameful to do so.

time to logout of twitter

.elonmusk’s $44billion investment will be worthless when he gets done with it.

What a laughable ‘benefit’😂— the paid blue check mark = 🚩🚩🚩for me

He's playing with fire again. Won't go well. I'll never pay to use Twitter. I'm not the only one.

While Twitter continues a downward spiral thanks to an egoviraltesla self driving rich dude whose human resource dept is made up of anti self thinking robots, folks wonder what colossal mismanagement practices by Elon are next? uspoli cdnpoli

Thanks for great reporting. Now let’s keep it up and head to Ohio and interview some residents.

good

An authentication app is better than sms 2fa anyways.

Cue the free speech hating liberals

Payment for DM access will be the next action from that fraud.

I'm still not paying you Musk.

Does anyone else laugh when you see someone subscribed to it 😂

Elon is a criminal and an enemy to America.

Yea, Elon want to make money off of his gullible check mark users paying $8 as well as those not being extorted by selling their information to the highest bidder country. Like Russia and China.

Disgusting

Is this in English?

Can someone explain two factor authentication method to me like I was a 5 year old?

Platform security is key!

Omg yup
