their audiences. 
250m+ active users 
85 billion gigabytes of data daily 
3.5 billion Tweets every week 
With that being said, securing your Twitter account becomes essential, a great way to secure Twitter 
account is to activate the two-steps verification that was introduced by twitter in May 2013. Many 
business[2] accounts and governmental accounts still didn’t activate that feature, which put their accounts 
at risk. 
76% of these millions of people are on mobile, so in this article i will give a simple explanation on how to 
activate twitter two-steps verification log-in method with your mobile, i will also attach a presentation please 
feel free to share it. 2-steps method requires you to 
1- Confirm your email 
2- have a mobile number connected to you account. 
3- Download Mobile App (if using iOS or Android) [OPTIONAL] 
Before we go any further, you need to confirm or connect your mobile number with your Twitter[3] 
@username if you haven’t already. follow the below steps to activate it via SMS 
Note: You can skip this part if you already have your mobile number connected to your account

2. Twitter will reply and ask you to text YES to the Twitter short code. 
3. Text your username to the same number. Do not use the @ symbol or quotation marks. Send your 
username ONLY, for example: amged 
4. Next, text your password. This is case sensitive, so be sure you are sending your password correctly.

Twitter now will inform you that to login to Twitter ever again, you will need “that same application on that 
same mobile phone” which means no other mobile can generate that code but that exact mobile. 
4 of 7 31-Oct-14 2:13 PM
http://www.amged.me/social-media/secure-twitter-account-hacked/ 
When you click ok, Twitter App will ask you to back up your login code. THIS IS EXTREMELY 
IMPORTANT and you MUST backup that code or write it down in a secured place, 
5 of 7 31-Oct-14 2:13 PM
What this basically do is will not allow anyone to sign in to your account unless a code is generated 
from “that app” on “that mobile” which means no other mobile can verify it and no other app 
installed on any other mobile can generate the code. 
You should now be able to see the “Send login verification requests to Twitter for Android” 
selected on your Twitter Security Settings 
Make sure also to select “Require personal information to reset my password” it helps during 
resetting password.
