You're absolutely right that SMS two-factor authentication isn't secure and that it is the default on Twitter [0].

IIRC at the time I was going to setup two-factor authentication on my device (and to this day), I had an issue with the camera where I could not scan a QR code. On most other platforms I am able to enter in the secret code for my authentication app manually. On Twitter (not sure if this is still true) they did not provide the secret code for me to enter manually.
