Enable Two-Step Verification For Twitter

Most of the popular websites have started using two-step verification. The main reason behind this is that nothing remains secret. Keeping only password for your verification, is not good idea. Its always best to have two-step verification. You login with your regular password, then you receive a code to move ahead. This code is sent on your mobile and you need to enter it to login. Two-factor authentication seeks to decrease the probability that the requester is presenting false evidence of its identity.

Similarly, now Twitter has implemented two-step verification option and you can now enable it your account.

Follow the steps below to enable two-step verification:

1. First step is to open your account settings page here- https://twitter.com/settings/account.

2. Scroll down and you can see an option “Require a verification code when i sign in” option under Account Security.

3. If you have enabled a mobile number for your account, you can proceed to step 5. If you do not have a mobile number associated with your Twitter account, click on the link and you will be shown a page where you need to enter your country, phone number and service provider.

4. You need to send an SMS from your mobile number, the details will be provided by Twitter.

5. Once you have sent the SMS, your phone will be verified and Twitter will confirm by sending a test message.

6. Once you have enabled the option, save your settings. Next time you login to Twitter, after you enter your password, you will be shown with a verification page where you need to enter the code you receive on SMS.

This way you can secure your Twitter account.

Cheers!!!
