How to Set Up App-Based Two Factor Authentication on Twitter for Free. Twitter has announced that it will soon stop supporting SMS based two-factor authentication (2FA) for users that are not subscribed to Twitter Blue. Users will have up to March 20 to disable text-based login authentication codes on their accounts, according to the microblogging service. This means that several users who rely on receiving SMS codes to protect their account will have to subscribe to Twitter Blue. For those who do not want to subscribe, Twitter will continue to support alternative 2FA methods at no extra cost.
How to enable app-based two-factor authentication using third-party apps.
- Visit the settings section on the Twitter website on your computer.
- Click on Security and account access > Security > Two-factor authentication.
- Disable the Text message option, if it is enabled on your account.
- Now select Authentication app > Get started.
- Open the authentication app that you downloaded, and scan the QR code displayed on the Twitter website.
- Enter the six-digit numeric code displayed on your authentication app to confirm the setup process.
