Tell HN: Twitter just turned off two-factor authentication my account
Twitter just sent me an email stating:
> You've turned off two-factor authentication for @nfriedly
> This means you’ll no longer have this added protection when you log in to Twitter. Your account will be more vulnerable to compromise. You can turn on two-factor authentication any time in the Account > Security section of your Twitter settings.
This is false, as I did not turn it off. Also, there doesn't appear to be an Account > Security section their settings any more.
UPDATE: It sounds like twitter turned off SMS 2FA, but still allows you to use 2FA with an Authenticator app. Enable it at https://twitter.com/settings/account/login_verification
