Twitter to disable two-factor authentication by text for non-Twitter Blue subscribers
CBSN
Twitter announced Friday that users who do not subscribe to Twitter Blue will soon have to give up using text messages as a two-factor authentication method to secure their accounts.
The social media platform, which was acquired by billionaire Tesla founder Elon Musk last year, informed its users about the new policy in a press release Wednesday, saying that it will no longer permit non-Twitter Blue subscribers to use text messages as a two-factor authentication method after March 20.
Two-factor authentication is a tool which requires users to enter a security code or key — in addition to their normal password — in order to gain access to their accounts.
