Users have expressed their frustration at Musk’s move to paywall this universal security measure, the latest of a series of controversial decisions by the CEO.
Two-factor authentication by text message will no longer be available for all users on Twitter, as users have begun receiving notifications telling them to remove the security feature or “risk losing access to Twitter.”to their blog on Wednesday, Twitter made the official announcement that they will begin only allowing paid Twitter users to use SMS authentication for their accounts.
Two-factor authentication requires users to enter a single-use code in addition to their account password.

Twitter noted that other two-factor verification measures, like authenticator apps and security keys, would remain available.
