    It's a scandal @Twitter is a) still using SMS as 2FA, *and* b) hasn't upgraded DM to end-to-end encryption. Please up your security game.

        e2e encryption is not a solved problem. Would users be happy if they could only get DMs in the official app and not the web?

        I agree it would be great if Twitter provided the option, but there are a number of technical hurdles. Easier to start (cont)

        yes, but how do you get the key between the mobile client and the web? Without giving it to Twitter, of course!

        so Twitter has your key and could brute force the password at any time without you knowing? Is that really e2e?

        .@savagejen irresponsible—it is impossible to disable password reset by SMS. So does this effectively reduce @twitter 2FA to 1FA? Seems yespic.twitter.com/BrbQeArlwk
