Twitter requests users to change their passwords
The platform is currently requesting all users to change their passwords and the platform did the right thing by letting everyone know what happened instead of hiding it. Twitter notified both desktop and mobile users by some have reported lags and errors which might be triggered by the fact that everyone is trying to change their accounts at once. Twitter chief technology officer Parag Agrawal said that “I’m sorry that this happened,” after posting the announcement.
Set up a two-factor authentication for Twitter
As we already said, you can use a trusted password manager such as Efficient Password Manager Network. To change your password all you have to do is head over to Settings and privacy – Password and change it. It’s also recommended to set up a two-factor authentication for Twitter. In the Security subsection from Settings and privacy – Account, you have to click on Review your login verification methods. After entering the new password, you will see a Login verification screen where you can configure everything to receive second-factor codes via SMS. Twitter did not comment on how long the plaintext passwords would be exposed.
