Twitter improves security for its Android applications
One of the key points when using a social network is its security And the fact is that no one would like to give up the place where they share moments of their lives to any other person For this reason, it is increasingly common to two-step identity verification system on social networks and otherservices Internet Something that Twitter already introduced last May and that now ends up outlining leaving aside the text messages or SMS and using their official applications for it.
This is a really useful security measure to make sure that no one else has access to the Twitter account of the user. Just activate this process to receive a real-time alert on your smartphone or tablet when someone , or the user himself, decides to access Twitter from a computer. Thus, said alert shows the user of the terminal information as the Internet browser he is using and, most importantly, a security code to enter if you want to access your account.
This way it is possible to find out if there is any intrusion attempt in the Twitter account of the user without his or her having given permission.And not only that, since without the access code it is impossible to carry out the process. With this new two-step verification system, the social network with 140 characters can stop using text or SMS messages or simply use this new method where SMS did not arrive to offer greater security to its users.
Of course, to have this option it is necessary to update the application for Android , iPhone and iPad to its latest version, now available, by activating verification in two steps from the menu Settings Simply access this menu, click on the accountthat you want to secure and select the section Security Here you just have to activate the Login Verification option The first time this step is performed, a backup security code is displayed.In other words, a permanent code that the user can use to always verify their person even if they don't have the terminal at handA code to keep safe just in case.
But security isn't the only novelty in the latest Twitter update Along with it comes a visual improvement compared to images after performing a search Thus, now these images are displayed in the form of digital magazine, doing much viewing and browsing more enjoyable. In addition, it brings improvements and solutions to bugs found in previous versions of the application.
In short, an important update that significantly improves the security of this social network and the content published on it against third parties people.An option that is also completely optional, being able to activate it only if desired, even if it is highly recommended. This latest update to Twitter is now available for Android via Google Play, and for iPhone and iPad via the App Store As always, absolutely free
