Security keys are the topmost preferred tool against hackers on Twitter or anywhere, for the matter.
Twitter has now taken a leap in providing full-proof security to your account. That is due to the hardware security keys. It is the most secure and dependable authentication technique around for shooing away hackers or attacks.
On Monday, the tech giant announced that unlike the last time, when people could only register one login keyword, this time, they could do several keys. And this is more helpful than changing passwords all the time. Or worse: forgetting them.
Twitter’s Hardware Key Support
Picking the wrong password could result in hackers making a breeding ground out of your account. The authentication with two-factor helps pair the password with other applications or numbers or emails. This also includes a security key— in hardware.
Hence, Twitter’s hardware security key is helpful as a two-factor keeper. It connects to either a website or application or service. This helps in dodging attacks by hackers or even problems with phishing— hackers won’t be able to steal your profile.
Multiple key support is the best as with one key; it would become problematic if lost. This choice multiplied helps keep safe from SIM swaps as well. This method can also help store several different passwords in one and the same place.
Like Twitter, Google, Feitian as well as Yubikey also offer hardware security keys. Instead of just the USB cable connection, some can also be used with connecting Bluetooth. But Twitter still roots for you to have other options. Like SMS, other email identifications, etc.
And in the future, this may differ as only the hardware keys would be needed to get into an account.
