X’s move to make people pay for a basic form of two-factor is problematic. It also created confusion because the company prompted free users to switch away from SMS two-factor, but then seemingly simply turned off the protection altogether for those who didn’t. This likely left a group of users in a situation where they think they have two-factor authentication on, but actually don’t.
I was under the impression that two factor via SMS was disabled for free users, but you could still use OTP apps.
Not having one or deleting it seems like a great option at this point.
Not using twitter is an easy solution.
Paying for 2FA seems to be a new low. And I’m not sure i could use any service that tried that.
