Starting March 20, Twitter will disable two-factor authentication via SMS for users without a paid Twitter Blue subscription. Now the service will be included in the paid subscription fee.
After taking over Twitter at the end of October last year, American billionaire Elon Musk decided to start marketing blue verification badges that confirm the authenticity of an account. The entrepreneur charged $8 a month or $84 a year for ticks as part of a Twitter Blue subscription.
Users without a paid subscription to enable two-factor authentication will need to use special applications.
Now, a paid subscription allows you to cut advertising in half, gives priority in replays. A fundamental innovation is the possibility of publishing tweets of up to 4,000 characters.
According to The Information, in mid-January, only 180 thousand Americans bought Twitter Blue, which represents 0.2% of all users of the social network.
Last December, Elon Musk raised the price of Twitter Blue for iOS users to $11. Prior to this, the businessman complained about Apple’s refusal for his advertising on Twitter.
