Twitter Users to be Charged for SMS Account Security

How to keep your account secure without paying

A pop-up message warned users they will lose the ability to secure their accounts via text message two-factor authentication unless they pay $8 a month to subscribe to Twitter Blue.

The message said that starting March 19, users who don't subscribe will be locked out of their accounts until they remove the security feature.
