I don&#x27;t trust twitter and every time they ask for my phone number I just kill the app and restart it to hide the unclosable pop up asking for my phone number.<p>SMS is a terrible 2FA anyways

2FA means &quot;you lock yourself out of your account forever&quot;<p>I just had the hole my Yubikey attaches to my keyring break. If I wasn&#x27;t lucky it might have fallen off my keyring and disappeared. (No more Github for you!)<p>As it was I managed to stuff it into one of the pockets of my gym bag.

No wonder, you can&#x27;t enable adequate 2FA without setting phone number and SMS 2FA at first.

Shill&#x2F;bot&#x2F;propaganda accounts don&#x27;t care about 2FA. Those constitue a huge percentage of Twitter, so I&#x27;m not surprised at the low adoption rate.

How much does 2FA really gain us users? What&#x27;s the more likely scenario, that i) someone guesses or steals my password or ii) some organization breaks into Twitter and steals <i>all</i> passwords and the keys as well? Why would Twitter face better than Yahoo!, Alibaba, LinkedIn, etc.?
