Twitter has added support for multiple security keys to accounts with two-factor authentication enabled for logging into the social network's web interface and mobile apps.
"Secure your account with multiple security keys," Twitter said.
Twitter has added support for using security keys when logging into mobile apps for 2FA-enabled accounts in December 2020.
2FA is an additional security layer for Twitter accounts that requires users to use a security key or enter a code on top of only entering a password to authenticate successfully.
While some high-profile Twitter accounts were hijacked last year even though they had 2FA enabled after attackers could gain access to internal admin systems, users should still toggle 2FA to be better protected against less-sophisticated hacking attempts.
To turn on 2FA on your Twitter account, you will have to go to your profile menu into Settings and Privacy, then to Security and account access or Account > Security and toggle on Two-factor authentication.
