How to Set Up 2FA for Twitter Using iOS Authenticator App
As per the information available on the Twitter blog, the SMS-based 2FA will not be available for non-Twitter Blue users from March 20, 2023. It is highly recommended to change the 2FA method before that deadline. Let’s see how to do that.
Step 1: Select Authenticator App on Twitter
Step 2: Link iOS Authenticator App to Twitter
That’s it. From now on, you don’t need to look for SMS or other third-party apps as you can get the verification code on your iPhone itself.
How to Set Up 2FA for Instagram Using iOS Authenticator App
Are you an Instagram influencer or user? Whatever it may be, you need to keep your account secure to prevent unauthorized access. If you have not enabled 2FA on Instagram, you can refer to our article on How to Enable Instagram Two-Factor Authentication to Secure Your Account. At the time of writing, there is no restriction to using SMS-based 2FA on Instagram. Still, if you would like to change that to the built-in iOS authenticator app, you can do that. The procedure is very similar to that of Twitter explained above. Instead of SMS, you need to select the option Authenticator App and follow the onscreen instructions to set up 2FA. Likewise, you can use this built-in iOS option for your other social media apps or any app if they support two-factor authentication. Suppose you need to avoid juggling multiple authentication apps for your social media and other online accounts. In that case, there’s good news: iOS comes with a built-in authenticator that can handle it all. By enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) on your iOS device and configuring it for your various accounts, you can use your iPhone or iPad as a secure and convenient way to verify your identity and protect your data.
