FWIW general info on Twitter security:
1) use 2FA
2) do _not_ use a phone number
3) watch out for 3rd party apps

If we don't enter a phone number, how does Twitter do the human verification thing?
I have GAuth 2FA enabled but it still gives me the "Are you a human" spiel and texts me a code - every two weeks or so.

I even tried deleting my phone number after enabling GAuth 2FA, but Twitter immediately took me to the "temporarily limited" page and forced me to enter a number.
Anyway, don't mean to treat you like Twitter tech support, lol, just posting this here in case it helps someone.
