Unless you've been under a rock, you probably heard about the Twitter message that was put out by McDonald's about President Donald Trump. Â The company later removed the Tweet and issued a statement apologizing for it. Â The company then said that their account was "compromised."
That hack has sparked a discussion here at CompuScoop on securing your Twitter (and Facebook) account with what is known as a two step verification process.  While it can become a pain-in-the-ass to set up and use, it can help avoid situations such as the one above.
Here's what to do:
1. Login to your Twitter Account.
2. Select Settings > Settings & Privacy.
3. Scroll down to the Security Section.
4. Make sure the Verify Login Requests is checked.
5. You have three options to secure your account.Â
Of course, nothing that you do can guarantee that your account won't be the target of a hack. But this will help that it doesn't.
