lol wat

screw them royally 😅

Funfact:
SMS 2FA is inherintly unsecure and should be avoided at all cost.

Second funfact:
SMS 2FA is mostly used to get active phone numbers to sell for marketing purposes.

So Elon is doing unintentionally everybody a favour.

And next week there is the headline that Twitter is flodded with millions of bot accounts... What elon doing?

Are they trying to make most users have less secure accounts? Lol

TOTP is the better 2fa

that is hillarious

If thats SMS, it should be removed alltogether

So this would be actually a good thing.

@Patrick unglaublich oder? Gut dass ich da raus bin

I was genuinely surprised to see Twitter doing something good under Elon's leadership. A second later once again, I was genuinely surprised to see that you can actually fuck up 2fa so badly

I thought this was a joke when I saw it being reported on earlier.

text message based #2FA is not considered safe for a longer time, so replacing it with another 2FA method is highly recommended anyway, but they way they communicate is just hilarious. I don’t care about subscription levels at Netflix, I just want movies, and subscription levels are way more impactful there than on #Twitter. Who gives a damn what blue users, while people just want to communicate freely.. sounds like nonsense to me.

Journalists that use Twitter will be like "What's a Yubikey? What the hell is Google Authenticator?" THIS is the main problem. No one's gonna educate them about the alternative 2FA and it will be like talking to a brick wall to those that try.

...holy fucking shit, what are they DOING over there

In my country you cant even buy Blue 😁

It is quite amazing how much time and energy some of us spend on a social medium we all left.

doesn't matter when you look at elon's bluebird: https://youtu.be/MnfQmgL0IYs

When you try to monetize the objectively inferior 2FA method, lol.

who knew March 20th would be another day so many of us just give up on that tiresome place.
It's depressing to go on their right now, by March we will have moved on.

TOTP and U2F/WebAuthn keys work for free and are much more secure. Everyone should stop using SMS 2FA. More info in this great article. https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/03/can-we-stop-pretending-sms-is-secure-now/ #infosec

Why use SMS at all though, if you still have the option of a hardware security key or 2FA authentication app, you're considerably better off with the latter two, rather than having your token tied to your phone number and delivered to you in plain text. SMS should only be used for 2FA if no better option exists.

"pay up for the privilege of being vulnerable to sim swapping!"

to be fair, sms is the only one that has direct costs to them every time someone uses it.

I got my account blocked on twitter, 'cause I complain about this s*
