In an unexpected move, Twitter announced on February 15, 2023, that it would charge users for using its SMS-based two-factor authentication service. The announcement caught many users off guard. Two-factor authentication has become a widely adopted security measure to protect online accounts from unauthorized access. While Twitter has assured users that it will continue to offer other forms of two-factor authentication for free, the decision to charge for SMS-based authentication has sparked controversy and concern among users.<\/span><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-47654\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Twitter-SMS-Chrarge-Bird.jpg\" alt=\"Twitter SMS Chrarge Bird\" width=\"1512\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Twitter-SMS-Chrarge-Bird.jpg 1512w, https:\/\/www.androidinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Twitter-SMS-Chrarge-Bird-300x159.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.androidinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Twitter-SMS-Chrarge-Bird-1024x542.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.androidinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Twitter-SMS-Chrarge-Bird-768x406.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1512px) 100vw, 1512px\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-66297dbbe55d0\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-66297dbbe55d0\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidinfotech.com\/twitter-two-factor-authentication-pay-sms-verification\/#Twitter_SMS-based_Two-factor_Authentication_Users_have_to_Pay\" title=\"Twitter SMS-based Two-factor Authentication Users have to Pay\">Twitter SMS-based Two-factor Authentication Users have to Pay<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidinfotech.com\/twitter-two-factor-authentication-pay-sms-verification\/#Why_is_Twitter_Charging_for_SMS_2FA\" title=\"Why is Twitter Charging for SMS 2FA?\">Why is Twitter Charging for SMS 2FA?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidinfotech.com\/twitter-two-factor-authentication-pay-sms-verification\/#What_are_the_Alternatives_to_SMS_2FA\" title=\"What are the Alternatives to SMS 2FA?\">What are the Alternatives to SMS 2FA?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidinfotech.com\/twitter-two-factor-authentication-pay-sms-verification\/#What_is_the_Impact_of_Twitters_Decision\" title=\"What is the Impact of Twitter&#8217;s Decision?\">What is the Impact of Twitter&#8217;s Decision?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidinfotech.com\/twitter-two-factor-authentication-pay-sms-verification\/#FAQs\" title=\"FAQs\">FAQs<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidinfotech.com\/twitter-two-factor-authentication-pay-sms-verification\/#Is_two-factor_authentication_mandatory_for_Twitter_accounts\" title=\"Is two-factor authentication mandatory for Twitter accounts?\">Is two-factor authentication mandatory for Twitter accounts?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidinfotech.com\/twitter-two-factor-authentication-pay-sms-verification\/#What_are_the_alternatives_to_SMS-based_two-factor_authentication_on_Twitter\" title=\"What are the alternatives to SMS-based two-factor authentication on Twitter?

You don&#8217;t want someone to get access to your accounts by proving they are you simply because they&#8217;ve stolen your phone number. Heck, Twitter&#8217;s own Jack Dorsey was successfully targeted by the technique four years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-47655\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Twitter-Two-Factor-SMS-Verification-Users-Percentage.jpg\" alt=\"Twitter Two Factor SMS Verification Users Percentage\" width=\"1300\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Twitter-Two-Factor-SMS-Verification-Users-Percentage.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/www.androidinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Twitter-Two-Factor-SMS-Verification-Users-Percentage-300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.androidinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Twitter-Two-Factor-SMS-Verification-Users-Percentage-1024x473.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.androidinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Twitter-Two-Factor-SMS-Verification-Users-Percentage-768x354.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1300px) 100vw, 1300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As Rachel Tobac points out, Twitter&#8217;s transparency data shows that only 2.6 percent of Twitter users had 2FA turned, and 74 percent used SMS as their 2FA method. Many users relied on SMS 2FA, the least secure form of 2FA. SMS 2FA is vulnerable to <a title=\"How to Prevent SIM Swapping in your Phone?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidinfotech.com\/prevent-sim-swapping\/\" rel=\"\">SIM swapping<\/a> attacks, where hackers steal your phone number and use it to access your accounts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Twitter&#8217;s decision to charge for SMS 2FA is an attempt to incentivize users to switch to a more secure form of 2FA. The company encourages users to subscribe to Twitter Blue or use an authenticator app. You can also try physical security keys, which are far more reliable and secure.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_Alternatives_to_SMS_2FA\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What are the Alternatives to SMS 2FA?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Several alternatives are available to users who want to secure their Twitter accounts. These include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><strong>Authenticator apps<\/strong> &#8211; <a title=\"Best Three Two-Factor Authentication Apps\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidinfotech.com\/best-two-factor-authentication-apps\/\" rel=\"\">Authenticator apps<\/a> generate one-time codes that you can use to authenticate your login. Examples of authenticator apps include Google Authenticator, Authy, and Microsoft Authenticator.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><strong>Physical security keys<\/strong> &#8211; A physical security key is a small USB device that you insert into your computer or mobile. It can authenticate your login. Examples of physical security keys include Yubikey and Titan Security Key.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><strong>Twitter Blue<\/strong> &#8211; Twitter Blue is a subscription service that includes several features, such as an undo tweet button and a reader mode. Subscribers to Twitter Blue will also get access to SMS 2FA.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It&#8217;s worth noting that authenticator apps and physical security keys are more secure than SMS 2FA. They are not vulnerable to SIM swapping attacks and provide an additional layer of security to your accounts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_Impact_of_Twitters_Decision\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What is the Impact of Twitter&#8217;s Decision?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Twitter&#8217;s decision to charge for SMS 2FA will impact users unwilling to pay for Twitter Blue or switch to a more secure form of 2FA. After March 20, 2023, Twitter will turn off your SMS 2FA if you don&#8217;t start paying for Twitter Blue or switch to a more reliable 2FA method.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This means that users relying on SMS 2FA will need to either subscribe to <a title=\"Edit option now available in Twitter Blue Labs\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidinfotech.com\/41497-edit-option-available-twitter-blue-labs\/\" rel=\"\">Twitter Blue<\/a>. Also, they can switch to an alternative form of 2FA. Although it might be inconvenient, it is essential to safeguard your accounts against SIM-swapping assaults.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">FAQs<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_two-factor_authentication_mandatory_for_Twitter_accounts\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">Is two-factor authentication mandatory for Twitter accounts?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">No, two-factor authentication is not compulsory for Twitter accounts. However, Twitter strongly encourages users to enable it for better security.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_alternatives_to_SMS-based_two-factor_authentication_on_Twitter\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 14pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What are the alternatives to SMS-based two-factor authentication on Twitter? <\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 14pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Twitter Blue subscribers can still use SMS-based two-factor authentication, but it is not recommended. A better option is to use an authenticator app. You can also use a physical security key for two-factor authentication, which is more secure and reliable.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_SMS-based_two-factor_authentication_less_secure\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 14pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Why is SMS-based two-factor authentication less secure? <\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 14pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">2FA, which relies on SMS, is less confident due to its susceptibility to SIM swap attacks. Such attacks occur when a perpetrator tricks a phone carrier. Mobile operators may transfer the victim&#8217;s phone number to the perpetrator&#8217;s SIM card. Consequently, the perpetrator receives the SMS verification code and can gain entry into the victim&#8217;s account.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Conclusion<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Twitter&#8217;s choice to make <a title=\"How To Backup and Restore SMS Text messages on Android Mobiles\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidinfotech.com\/backup-restore-sms-text-messages\/\" rel=\"\">SMS-based<\/a> two-factor authentication a paid feature is a positive move towards enhanced security. It may inconvenience some users. The alternative options of using an authenticator app or a physical security key are much more secure and reliable. We can avoid SIM swap attacks and other account hacking. It&#8217;s more important than ever to take your online security seriously. So if you haven&#8217;t already, consider enabling two-factor authentication on your Twitter account, and choose a more secure method than SMS-based authentication.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.twitter.com\/en_us\/topics\/product\/2023\/an-update-on-two-factor-authentication-using-sms-on-twitter\" rel=\"nofollow\">Source<\/a>, (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TwitterSupport\/status\/1626757587524890624\" rel=\"nofollow\">2<\/a>), (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ZoeSchiffer\/status\/1626699135012446208\" rel=\"nofollow\">3<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently Twitter is already getting lots of controversies.
