    "Users don’t even have to fill out a form—since their information (name, email and username) is already pulled into the card. They literally just have to hit Submit on the Card's call to action."

    Twitter Gets Two-Factor Login Verification: “When you sign into twitter.com, there's a second check to make sure it's really you. You'll be asked to register a verified phone number and a confirmed email address.”
