I know this is well known among my tech friends, but if you use SMS text messages or phone calls as your second factor (or 2FA), please consider using another method. There are many reasons for this and it's a bit complicated to explain.

Many password managers, like 1Password and Bitwarden, will track these one time passwords for 2FA for you. They also help you back up your credentials in case you move to a new device.

Good luck! 🛡️ #2fa #twitter2fa

How to Add Twitter 2FA (when SMS text DOESN'T work!)

Twitter recently announced that they would no longer support SMS text for 2-factor authentication (except for Twitter Blue). That means you can only use authenticator apps or security keys. In this tutorial, I'll show you how to set up either option.

Me parece muy mal que se tenga que pagar la suscripción a #TwitterBlue para disponer del método de autenticación en dos fases vía SMS.

Pagar por tener algunas opciones extras tiene un pase, pero la seguridad de la cuenta no debería tener un sobreprecio.

Ah, to produce software so thick to not realise I ALREADY have and use app based 2FA and have never used an SMS code in the life of the account... #BirdSite #Twitter2FA

Amazing.

I just went through the flow of removing SMS #Twitter2FA.

I STILL wound up having to set Authenticator App 2FA up all over again.

I’m so glad I moved here #Mastodon #Fediverse

Another desperate money grab via ransom by Musk.

Wusste gar nicht, dass man sich bei iOS 2FA direkt in den Passwörtern einrichten kann. Nett. 👍 Und das alles nur zufällig erfahren, weil da irgendwas auf #Twitter passiert ist. #Twitter2FA

At this point, I'm seriously thinking of scrambling my Bird App password, changing the email to a chum-bucket account*. And throwing away the key. It's a trash fire I'm getting tired of wasting time with.

* I keep a email account just for bullshitty things like loyalty cards that don't earn reward points
