What is a Security Key for Twitter 2FA?
Enabling two-factor authentication for your Twitter/X account is a way to provide an additional layer of security for your account.
When you log into your Twitter/X account with your username and password, you are requested to authenticate your login. This is a more reliable way of protecting your account against data breaches and phishing. If hackers see that your Twitter/X account is 2FA enabled, they will abandon it.
The only 2FA method available for Twitter/X is the use of a security key. Initially, they permitted other login options in 2FA like SMS. However, it is limited to Twitter Blue subscribers.
Not to worry. The security key is effective at preventing unauthorised access or account takeovers. Unlike passwords, any access to your account has to be authenticated by the physical security key in your possession.
