While this began to democratize on many service and platform, Twitter is now testing the dual authentication on its social network. According to NWT, the company is doing internal testing before 'gradually spread it to users. If no schedule has been fixed, the American blog mentioned that if this rumor turns out to be real, could simply be spread gradually to users, thus helping to protect the unfortunate hacks made to the accounts of users, as we have seen in recent months.
The question surrounding the increased security is highlighted following the attacks of hackers and foreign organizations such as the Syrian electronic army. Using such authentication, it will be necessary to have additional code in order to authenticate. In other words, whenever you want to connect to Twitter, in addition to traditionally typing your user name and your password, and once the configuration to allow the double authentication enabled on your account, the service even you send an e-mail or an SMS with an alphanumeric code that you must enter to access your account. If the latter you are missing, you will have no chance to read your timeline.
This rumor reached although last night we attended the hacking of the account to the Associated Press by a tweet announcing that an explosion had taken place at the White House and that Barack Obama was injured. This proves that it becomes necessary for Twitter to have such a system.

While Twitter accounts are becoming genuine channel of communication for many people, including celebrities and personalities from around the world, find ways to protect these accounts is really important. After all, how many people have dared to believe that the tweet of the AP was real? All the same, the fake tweet was received by two million subscribers...
And Twitter is impossible to monitor all accounts, at least not in real time. This means that if an account is hacked, it could take hours before Twitter can block it...
En tout cas, si cela s’avère vérifié, Twitter se joindrait à la liste des entreprises ayant ajouté la double authentification. Parmi ces dernières on retrouve Evernote qui a poussé celle-ci plus rapidement que prévu suite à un piratage massif de base utilisateurs contraignant la société à devoir réinitialiser les mots de passe de tous ses usagers, Cloudflare et bien d’autres. Le géant de la recherche Google a mis en œuvre ce processus de sécurité depuis un certain temps maintenant, et Facebooks a également renforcé sa sécurité ainsi.
Beware, this is not because a company is implementing this double authentication that this does not mean that the accounts are 100% safe. In effect, if they are simply more difficult to penetrate, there is not less that anyone can hack into your social network, also take over your email account...
In any case and to be more serene, it is obvious that the dual authentication is essential nowadays!
