Starting from today

Elon Musk, its new owner, cut half of its workforce. Last week, hundreds more
employees decided to leave the social media company.

There are signs that their departure is affecting the system. Some users
noticed problems receiving texts to sign in with two-step verification. Test
pages are showing up. Some users are seeing more unwanted messages called
spam. Others report receiving new replies to long-removed tweets and seeing
drafts of saved tweets disappear.

Twitter will not simply shut down overnight. But security experts warn that
the severe job cuts may open the door to bad actors. They could look for
weaknesses in the system and harm user accounts.

Some people are considering leaving Twitter and moving on to other social
media sites. Experts advise those who stay to take steps to protect their
accounts.

Enable multi-step authentication

If you only use your login and password to sign into Twitter, it is important,
especially now, to add an extra step to the process. The extra step to confirm
your identity, called authentication, makes it more difficult for hackers to
get into your account.

Twitter has three methods to choose from: text message, an authentication

app or a security key. But some users have reported they are not receiving text
messages to authenticate their accounts.

Using an authentication app may be your best choice. This offers the most
security.
To do this, you will need to download an authentication app from the Apple or
Android stores. Some examples include Google or Microsoft Authenticator,
Authy, Duo Mobile and 1Password.

Once you have downloaded the app, open Twitter on your desktop computer
and click on the icon showing ellipses in a circle. There, select “Settings and
privacy,” then “Security and account access” and finally, “Security.”

Next, you can select “Authentication app” and follow the instructions to set it
up. Twitter may ask you to share your email address to do this.

Once you are all set, you can use the auto-generated codes from your
authentication app to add extra security when logging in to Twitter.
