Three steps to lock down your Twitter security
Key Takeaways
• Revoke unnecessary app permissions—phishing links often grant silent access to your Twitter account.
• Set up multi-factor authentication using an authenticator app or FIDO key like OneKey—SMS is not enough.
• Avoid using U.S.-based phone numbers due to high SIM-swap risk.
• Regularly review login history and sign out of unknown sessions to prevent silent breaches.
• If compromised, act fast: reset your password, contact Twitter support, and reach out to trusted security teams like @SlowMist_Team.
• Avoid downloading “collab software”—use online docs to reduce attack surface.

If you can’t even keep your Twitter account safe...how are you gonna protect your users?
Three steps to lock down your Twitter security
1. Review Your App Permissions
Go to your account settings and revoke any apps you don’t absolutely need. Be cautious—most Twitter phishing scams start by tricking you into clicking fake calendar or meeting links that grab your Twitter access. And seriously, don’t download random “collab” software. Stick to online docs whenever you can.
2. Turn On Multi-Factor Authentication
Use something like 1Password to store and share passwords securely. Set up MFA with SMS, an authenticator app, or a security key for extra protection. OneKey wallets support FIDO/FIDO2, so we’re all in on it here. And heads up—based on feedback, try to avoid using a U.S. phone number since they’re more vulnerable to SIM swap attacks.
3. Keep an Eye on Logins
Check your login history regularly and sign out of anything suspicious. Hackers don’t always make a move right away, so these checks can save you. And if Twitter flags any unusual activity, go straight to your security settings and update them.
⚠️Got hacked? Here’s your game plan
Use the “Forgot Password” option to reset it, then contact Twitter support ASAP with verification details to speed things up.
