Twitter has added two factor authentication (2FA) enrolment with no need for a phone number, and uses the FIDO2 WebAuthn protocol.
We want to give you the most secure experience on Twitter. Today, we updated our login process to support WebAuthn for an enhanced Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), so you can easily and securely authenticate your login with a single tap.
Good stuff. Security is key and with soo many hacked accounts over the years, this will probably help a lot.

These are great news. Cyber security experts noticed a shift towards mobile phone hacking when 2FA was done by SMS or by call. In the end, they could do an account take over and mobile phone proved to be a bad choice for multi factor authentification.
