Twitter has been criticized more than praised, but we can’t help it if the new owner Elon Musk is taking questionable steps. As of March 20, they are removing a convenient feature for two-factor authentication (abbreviated to 2FA): you can’t get a verification code in SMS if you’re not a Twitter Blue<\/a><\/span> subscriber. The site added<\/a><\/span>\u00a0that 2FA is still not mandatory to login to Twitter, but they encourage us to turn it on, and they are just limiting the options for non-subscribers.<\/p>\n
Rachel Tobac, a cybersecurity awareness expert on Twitter<\/a><\/span>, shared her views, ” Coupling essential security features with the requirement to pay, esp for the most used option of SMS 2FA, is not the right move. Should higher-threat model folks use app-based MFA [multi-factor authentication]\/keys? YES! Should we require all folks to PAY or lose out on the 2FA they already enrolled in? No! Is it the dream of every security professional that we get folks enrolled in strong MFA? Yes! Do we hope they use app-based MFA at a minimum or keys? We would love that!<\/p>\n
