If you want to lock your account on your Twitter account, you can enable SMS authentication two factors (2FA) or create a one-time login code.
But today, you can also use third-party authentication applications like Google Authenticator and Authy.
The company has reportedly added support for third-party apps, but hasn't announced it yet.
Let's see how you can set up the new security feature:
Install a two-factor authentication application such as Google Authenticator or Authy, and create your personal account on your phone (just follow the instructions given by the apps).
Connect with Twitter through it browser and go to Settings via the "Account.".
Open it tab “Security”, and check the box that says “Login verification” and enter the verification code you will receive via SMS.
Then click the "Set up password application" button.
You will see the instructions along with a bar code. Start the 2FA application on your phone and use it to scan the bar code.
The Twitter account will be created in the 2FA application you selected and you will see a six-digit code together. The next time you try to sign in to Twitter, you will be asked to enter this code that changes every few seconds.
Apps work even if your phone is not connected to the Internet.
That's it. You no longer have to worry about whether hackers manage to find your Twitter password.
