Twitter has announced that it will be removing a popular method of two-factor authentication (2FA) for non-paying customers, a move that could potentially put accounts at risk of attack and undermine the security of the platform as a whole. 2FA adds an extra layer of security beyond password protection, and is designed to guard against weak passwords that can be easily guessed by hackers, or password details that can be stolen through phishing attacks. However, Twitter has decided to remove the feature for non-paying customers from March 20th, leaving them vulnerable to attack unless they set up an alternative form of 2FA.
