Is something going on w Twitter? It kicked me out and asked for my phone #

[Vivienne235729]

I am not about to give twitter my damn phone number. Especially after I already picked whatever pictures to prove I am not a robot. It won't let me proceed without giving a phone #. If this isntheir new thing, bye bye twitter.

1. Give them you trump neighbor's number.

2. I don't know if I have any trump neighbors. No one has put signs up. Just me and my Biden signs her.

4. Then your local R office number.

3. that happened to me

so I backed out. Tried to sign out but that did not work. Guess I am half way signed up but not, as I do get twitter emails. Too messed up for me.

5. Did it make you give your phone #? I was able to sign out.

I just can't sign in without giving my phone number.

7. Most likely it is to do with 2-factor authentication.

It's a security measure, not to protect against bots, per se, like the pictures, but to protect against your account being hacked/hijacked. When a login is detected from an unrecognized device, many systems will send a text message to your phone, containing a verification number, which you can then provide back to the system to verify that it was, in fact, you logging in from the unrecognized device.

I can certainly understand if you are unwilling to give out your phone number, but just for the sake of information, this is why it's often required.

9. I got suspended for

Mad King Poopy Pants had a stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke.. They said I was promoting something or another. I don't wish Mad King Poopy Pants die, just drivel and poop in his bag. Seems unfair I got suspended.
