An update on two-factor authentication using SMS on Twitter

This is truly doubling-down on stupid. You’re forcing most of your users off this method you call insecure, except for the ones that pay you $8 a month. Those users can continue to be unsafe, you say.
@film_girl but you still can use authentication app and security keys. Not? Actually, we know SMS are not really the safest way for 2FA … still, most will now just use their easy to guess password. 🫣
@wyssdaniel yes, of course they can. I’m pointing out the incongruity of claiming to end support for a 2FA method on the basis it is less-secure UNLESS you’re a paying user, then you’re welcome to continue to use or even enroll in the method you just said was too insecure to be worth supporting for everyone.
