Check these Twitter settings to stay secure and private
Twitter is among India’s top social media platforms, with everyone from your friends, employers, and government departments using Twitter as a medium to communicate. Being on Twitter often subjects you to unwanted online abuse, trolls, and even miscreants trying to take over your account.
Here are the settings you must know to secure your Twitter account and stay private while using the platform;
#1 Login Security
You can enable these two features in your Twitter account to secure it from anybody trying to break in; Two-factor authentication (2FA) and ‘Additional password protection’.
Enabling 2FA will require you to enter a second password or code to log in to your account. You can receive this code via an SMS or an authenticator app like Google Authenticator. Enabling the ‘Additional password protection’ will require you to enter a second code sent to your registered phone number or email address to reset your password.
You can find both these settings under the ‘Security and account access’ menu in your account settings.
#2 Protect your Tweets
If you are someone who likes to keep your Tweets private away from the public eye and just to your followers, protecting your Tweets is your best option.
Once enabled, your Tweets become Private and will be only visible to your followers. Also, you will receive a request from any new user trying to follow your account, which you will have the option to approve or deny.
