Another ? update today: you can now use Two Factor Authentication without linking a phone number. If you already have your phone number linked along with App-based 2FA, you can unlink your ? it in the "Account" section of your settings while still keeping 2FA on. https://t.co/t63iRz2lIy

It. Does. Not. Work.

Added Yubikey, removed phone number. Got an email that I just disabled 2FA and I must supply a phone number to reenable it.
Congrats to my teammates who worked darn hard to get this out. Expect more to come! https://t.co/TGwsKp4w3b

Turns out all that needed to happen for Twitter to change this (super bad) policy was for its very own CEO to get hacked! https://t.co/AWsO0Re1LO

About a month ago, Twitter disclosed it was inadvertently helping advertisers target users based on phone numbers provided to secure their accounts with 2FA. (It declined to say how long it had been doing so): https://t.co/UswOFbwsgH https://t.co/DjOWo8838q

If you are reading this you’re on Twitter, so take two minutes and click the your profile->settings->account->security and turn on two factor now! If you’re a political animal or human rights defender you’re at particular risk, so no excuses! https://t.co/zsB7GIxDDS

This is a big deal; can finally use 2FA on Twitter without a phone number (I just verified it works)

- Greater protection against SIM jacking w/ no number linked
- Some activists stopped using 2FA because SMS was a risk for them; better nowhttps://t.co/dB0aPZOU6L
