Twitter has offered two-factor for a long while now, but it’s used the less secure SMS-based verification method excessively until now.

The third-party app support means you can use tools like Google Authenticator, Authy or Duo Mobile to verify your login instead of SMS – and all you need to get set up is a one-time verification from within your logged in about on the desktop using your mobile Twitter app, your phone’s camera, and a uniquely generated QR code to establish the connection between app and Twitter. For more info on how to get set up, check out Twitter’s official support document on the subject.

Twitter will now display messages to inform users if blocked tweets were withheld to comply with local laws or court orders, which it calls Country Withheld Content (CWC). The public already has information about CWC through notices sent directly to affected accounts, Lumen, a database of legal requests for the removal of online content, and Twitter’s own biannual transparency reports. The new interstitials, however, will give Twitter users information as soon as they try to access blocked tweets or accounts.
