Elon Musk s Twitter Blue hopes dashed: A Berlin-based researcher looked into Twitter s data and found out that only five per cent of legacy-verified users subscribed to the new verification programme. As a result, Elon Musk has to rely on some unusual tricks.
Twitter is putting a paywall on the text message 2FA, and this is the final day for changes. In case it was not yet known to the public, Twitter's two-factor authentication via SMS will no longer be accessible for free, and the company will require you to subscribe to its premium services to continue using it.
Twitter users still have two other options to enable two-factor authentication on their accounts. Twitter users without a Blue subscription could be at risk soon.
