Twitter Users Can Now Secure Accounts With Multiple Security Keys
2021-03-16 14:11

Twitter on Monday announced that users with two-factor authentication enabled can now use multiple security keys to protect their accounts.

The social platform has had support for security keys for desktop users for some time, and made the feature available to iOS and Android users too in December 2020.

Now, the company allows users to take advantage of multiple security keys when securing their accounts, regardless of whether on a mobile device or on desktop.

To use security keys for account protection, users need to enable 2FA via text message or authentication application, select Security Key, and then enter their passwords when prompted, to begin the setup process.

Security keys that have been added are displayed in the "Manage security keys" section, under "Two-factor authentication," allowing users to easily manage them.

Twitter also revealed that it will soon provide users with the ability to employ security keys for authentication even if they do not have other methods enabled.
