Twitter reveals surprisingly low two-factor auth (2FA) adoption rate

I don't trust twitter and every time they ask for my phone number I just kill the app and restart it to hide the unclosable pop up asking for my phone number.

SMS is a terrible 2FA anyways

This. Twitter isn't getting my phone number. So, I'm not using Twitter. It's really that simple.

Somehow my account is "blocked" for "security reasons", yet Twitter is still fine sending me spam from it.

Besides, all SMS 2FA does is open you up to getting social engineering SIM hacked when you weren't before.

Is this a regional thing? I've multiple Twitter accounts, all of them with TOTP 2FA, and none of them has any information about my phone number.

You can effectively no longer sign up for a new account without a non-VOIP phone number

If you remove it after adding it to get through verification, your account is likely suspended a day or two later
