How to Stop Your X Account From Getting Hacked Like the SEC’s (www.wired.com)

X’s move to make people pay for a basic form of two-factor is problematic. It also created confusion because the company prompted free users to switch away from SMS two-factor, but then seemingly simply turned off the protection altogether for those who didn’t. This likely left a group of users in a situation where they think they have two-factor authentication on, but actually don’t.

Not having one or deleting it seems like a great option at this point.
