X, formerly known as Twitter, is a cutting-edge social media platform. Users have noticed both major and minor changes and improvements to the platform since it was rebranded from Twitter to X. The X is a potent instrument in terms of security and privacy, and it has the potential to become even more potent in the context of account hacking, which is currently fashionable. Therefore, it is crucial that you use Two-Factor Authentication to safeguard your X account.
What is Two-factor Authentication?
An additional safe safeguard for your X account is two-factor authentication. When logging into your X account, you will be prompted to enter a passcode or security key in addition to your password. You’re increasing the security of your account by taking this extra measure. X verifies whether or not the registered email address matches the one you provided during the signup.
To access your X account after turning on Two-factor authentication, you’ll need both your password and a secondary login option, such as a code or a physical security key.
How to set up Two-factor authentication on your X account?
You can easily set up the Two-factor authentication for your X/Twitter account using two different methods, one is by using your phone number, and the other is by using the security key. Let’s see how to do that:
Two-Factor Authentication Using Phone Number:
- Open your X/Twitter application.
- Tap More, and then click on Settings and Support.
- Now select Settings and Privacy.
- Click on Security and account access, followed by Security.
- Now, tap on the Text message option in the Two-factor authentication menu.
- Select Get Started.
- In the following process, tap on the Send code option, and the X will send you a one-time code on your phone number associated with your X account.
- Enter the code and select Confirm.
Two-Factor Authentication Using a Security Key:
- Open your X/Twitter application.
- Tap More, and then click on Settings and Support.
- Now select Settings and Privacy.
- Click on Security and account access, followed by Security.
- Select the Security key option.
