Twitter to charge users for text-message authentication
Twitter is removing text-message two-factor authentication for non-subscribers. The Twitter Support account tweeted only Twitter Blue subscribers would be able to use text-message authentication from 20 March. Some text-message 2FA users also received an in-app alert telling them to remove the method before the deadline to avoid losing access to their account. Twitter blogged "Bad actors" had abused the method. "These methods require you to have physical possession of the authentication method and are a great way to ensure your account is secure."
