If you're already logged in to a Twitter account you can deactivate 2FA by disabling the account (aka deleting with a 30 day window) and then re-enabling the account.

You don't need 2FA to deactivate 2FA? That seems like a big flaw.

Yup. The interesting thing is that this 2FA exploit was posted to hacker news two days before the twitter hack. It's possible someone seized the opportunity before it was fixed.

Do you have a link to that? Didn't see it here on HN.

My apologies, perhaps my memory was failing me. I can't find what I was thinking of and may have been incorrectly remembering this as twitter instead of google: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23792767
