Four hours ago, Platformer's Zoe Schiffer wrote on Twitter: Twitter will start charging for its SMS control identity two factors.
And yes it is official: Θα πρέπει να πληρώνετε για το προνόμιο της χρήσης του ελέγχου ταυτότητας του Twitter. Στην πραγματικότητα, εάν δεν αρχίσετε να πληρώνετε για το Twitter Blue (8 $ το μήνα στο Android, 11 $ το μήνα στο iOS) ή δεν αλλάξετε τον λογαριασμό σας για να χρησιμοποιήσετε μια πολύ πιο αξιόπιστη εφαρμογή ελέγχου ταυτότητας ή ένα κλειδί security, Twitter will simply disable 2FA after March 20th.
Getting rid of SMS isn't a bad thing, as SIM swap hacks give and take these days. Twitter's Jack Dorsey was the target of this one techniques four years ago. You don't want someone accessing your accounts pretending to be you just because they stole your phone number.
Of course, this is how Twitter is trying to justify this change, but surely there is a simpler reason: sending SMS messages costs money, and Twitter continues to make cuts. THE company had phased out SMS even before Elon Musk took over.
Meantime as reported by Rachel Tobac, Twitter transparency data shows that as of December 2021, only 2,6 percent of Twitter users use 2FA, and 74 percent of those users used SMS as their method of sending 2FA codes.
