X, the former Twitter, announces a new way to log in
X, the social network currently owned by Elon Musk, is looking to take a new leap in terms of security by enabling a new login system. In this way, the platform formerly known as Twitter will have a passkey system that will prevent users who choose this login method from being hacked.
Currently, this functionality is only available in the United States and on iOS systems, and if it works as expected, it is possible that later on this feature will be launched globally so that all users can have this safer method of login.
Today we’re excited to launch Passkeys as a login option for our US-based users on iOS!
A passkey is a new, easy to use, and secure way to log in to your account – all from your device. Passkeys are more secure than traditional passwords since they’re individually generated by…
This new system, for the moment, is being tested only on iOS devices in the US, but, as the company explains, this feature will eventually reach the rest of users, allowing security to make its way into this application, frequently accused of bot abuse and suffering numerous hacks and thefts of various accounts.
In addition, at the moment, there is no mention that this feature is only for X Premium users, so if the company doesn’t change its mind, it is most likely that this service can be beneficial for all users, both free and paid. This is something important to consider, taking into account that security has a fundamental value, and it is above the premium functionalities that a service can offer.
X’s Swings
For better or for worse, this beginning of the year is being less eventful for X than the year 2023 or the end of 2022. The service, for the first time in a long time, is no longer the protagonist so that, once again, the contents regain weight within the application. However, this does not mean that, in a year, the service of the application has undergone a substantial change.
For example, all the branding around what was previously Twitter was completely eliminated last summer of 2023. The paid subscriptions, after several changes, seem to have settled with three different categories, depending on the amount of premium features the user wants to have, but, despite everything, it was also known in recent weeks that the company’s value is much lower than when Elon Musk completed the purchase of the company in 2022.
