The social media platform is ending free SMS verification for logging in, unless you are a Twitter Blue user
Just to make things clear: Twitter’s decision doesn’t mean that you can’t use the enhanced security feature at all; it just means that you have to use an authenticator app or security key instead.It seems to be financially motivated, rather than giving Twitter Blue subscribers any real advantage. According to Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk, it is costing the platform $60 million a year in what he claims are scam messages.
Scammers can gain access to numbers through a SIM swap, which is where they hijack numbers with enough information to have the network redirect the number to another device. The easiest way to set up your app of choice is to open Twitter on your desktop or another device, and use your mobile device to set up two factor authentication.
