Twitter brings security key as your only 2FA method to mobile, web
Twitter has announced that users can use their security keys

is the most effective way to keep the Twitter account secure.
In March, Twitter had said it would soon

"Security keys offer the strongest

Wednesday.

sites from malicious ones and block phishing attempts that SMS or verification
