A new easy way to make your Twitter account “hack-proof”

You’ve gotten the tweets:

LOL… check out this picture of you…

 

And you know that guy you sort of met at that one thing a few years ago, has had his Twitter account compromised.

Twitter just launched a new 2 step authentication process that can help you from falling into the same trap.

What this mean for the non-geek:

  • The only people who can log into your account are those who know your password, and are holding your phone. That makes it really hard to “hack” your account.
  • If you use this, logging in takes an extra step… but it is probably worth that security.
