Twitter to charge for text-based two-factor authentication

Whatever Twitter’s true goals are, most users who have two-factor authentication activated on the service may have to adjust their log-in habits. According to the company’s 2021 transparency report, 74.4 percent of consumers with 2FA-enabled use SMS. Just 28.9 percent utilise authenticators, and only 0.5 percent use security keys. Moreover, just 2.6 percent of all Twitter users activated two-factor authentication at the time, but this figure may have altered since then.
