I'd like to enable two factor auth on my twitter account, but I'm put-off by their SMS-based implementation. Does anyone know if they have plans to support TOTP, like Google, GitHub, etc?


If you have the Twitter app on your smartphone, you can get notifications through it. I have 2FA for Twitter but do not receive SMS messages.


Thanks, I didn't know that! That might be good enough, as I quite often have no phone signal (and therefore no SMS) but still have net connectivity via wifi.

I'd still prefer the TOTP approach though because it doesn't require any connectivity on the phone.
