| Set Up App-Based Two Factor Authentication on Twitter for Free |
If you don't want to pay Twitter a hefty monthly fee — Twitter Blue costs up to Rs. 900 a month in India — for SMS based two-factor authentication to protect your account, you can switch to a more secure option to protect your account via authentication apps. You can download apps like Authy, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, and our favourite, the open source Aegis Authenticator before following the steps below.
How to enable app-based two-factor authentication using third-party apps.
- Visit the settings section on the Twitter website on your computer.
- Click on Security and account access > Security > Two-factor authentication.
- Disable the Text message option, if it is enabled on your account.
- Now select Authentication app > Get started.
- Open the authentication app that you downloaded, and scan the QR code displayed on the Twitter website.
- Enter the six-digit numeric code displayed on your authentication app to confirm the setup process.
