Yes, you read that right...
Twitter is set to remove the ability to use text messages for two-factor authentication from March 20th.
The social-media company tweeted that only subscribers who pay a monthly fee will be able to have a text sent to their phone to verify a sign-in attempt.
Effective March 20, 2023, only Twitter Blue subscribers will be able to use text messages as their two-factor authentication method. Other accounts can use an authentication app or security key for 2FA. Learn more here:https://t.co/wnT9Vuwh5n

There are fears that users who don't pay for Twitter Blue will be less secure on the platform.
Many users have taken to the platform, to express their disappointment in the move.
