This may all seem like a big hassle and truthfully, securing one’s personal account shouldn’t be paywalled. This code must then be entered when logging into Twitter on a new device. Most of the aforementioned apps utilize a short 2FA code that is on rotation constantly. are all very solid alternatives to Twitter’s 2FA. For instance, Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, iCloud Keychain, etc. There are plenty of useful apps online to use. In order to maintain a sense of security in your account, you may enable 2FA using a third-party authentication service. However, as of March 20, Twitter is turning off its text-based 2FA across the board, regardless if you remove it yourself. Twitter allows users to disable the feature themselves and opt for a third-party service. Until today, non-subscribers would periodically be notified that 2FA would be removed from their account. Starting today, this new policy is kicking in. “While historically a popular form of 2FA, unfortunately we have seen phone-number based 2FA be used – and abused – by bad actors,” the company said. Last month, it was announced that text message-based 2FA would become a feature for subscribers to Twitter’s $10/month subscription service. This means that accounts utilizing the 2FA text message feature are to become much less secure moving forward. I suspect a lot of people rely heavily on Authy but have no backup plans in case Authy decides to go under.Twitter is disabling its two-factor authentication (2FA) on accounts not subscribed to Twitter Blue today. I recommend people back up all their QR codes and better yet the 2FA text seed so you can migrate authenticator apps any time you want. Upon restoring an account, the Authy token for Bitgo is already available, but the Authenticator tokens are locked and require a decryption password.Īs much as I appreciate Authy for its convenience, I'm ready to move to a better service. This is why Coinbase even moved away from Authy in 2017. Native Authy tokens that are tied to your account (Twitch used to use this, Coinbase used to use this, etc.) are automatically available for use upon SMS authentication. They advertise that tokens are encrypted by a password that only ou know but that ONLY applies to Google Authenticator type RFC6238 type tokens. This is less known, but I've pointed out that native Authy tokens are NOT secured by a zero knowledge password. Yet it's perfectly acceptable to have TouchID and FaceID support on an iPhone right?
1Password), but of course they don't here. They seem to not care to implement Face Unlock. I've been emailing them or Tweeting at them every 6 months. It's been 2+ years since the Pixel 4 announcement and even longer since the biometrics API came out. I love Authy as a service but they really do a shitty job with development.
