There is nothing the support can do until this post is popular enough :)

I find Twitter's security borderline awful. I'm genuinely curious how does a 14 year old platform still isn't able to implement token based 2FA and user can change the email and password without any confirmation whatsoever.

It’s ridiculous that both password and email can be changed at once on any service

This is happening while Twitter named a new head of security, doesn't look good.
