Remember the Twitter bitcoin hack that affected several high-profile users like Elon Musk, Kanye West, and Jeff Bezos back in July? Well, Twitter definitely hasn’t forgotten.

In an effort to increase the security (and user confidence) of Twitter mobile accounts, the platform is allowing the use of physical security keys as part of 2-factor authentication on iOS and Android.
