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.

Oh yeah agreed it's done that to me too.
Part of me is like "wtf Twitter you're enforcing bad security".
The other part is like "well for most people security means letting them use their phone as a backup so their password isn't 'password' "
It's like they think bots can use G Auth. Plus I've disabled sms as security (below) but that didn't help. Anyway... 🤷♂️
- eh?
