To better protect its
users from having their accounts pirated, the social network Twitter has
announced two new measures: a simplified password reset procedure and
enhanced identity verification during suspicious login attempts.
Twitter users can now reset their
passwords at any time by requesting a special confirmation code, which
they can choose to receive either by email or text message. Having a
choice between the two methods should come in handy for people who no
longer use the email address they signed up with.
In addition, Twitter has
introduced personalized questions that only the account holder can
answer as a means of verifying identity during suspicious log-in
attempts, such as those from a new device or IP address, for example.
Updates to the email or phone number linked to an account can be made in Twitter’s settings.
