Twitter Now Has a Two-Step Solution | Threat Level | Wired.com

Accelerated evolution for Twitter's user and security models
"Given the increasing frequency of attacks, like today’s attack on the AP, or recent ones against the BBC and 60 Minutes, it seems like it would behoove the company to get something out now, even if imperfect, and iterate later. That might mean launching with an SMS only solution, but even that would be better than the current system that relies on passwords alone. One interesting wrinkle with two-step and Twitter is that many of the accounts most prone to hacking have multiple, sometimes very many, users who use a variety of applications. Which means that any solution is likely going to have to support multiple devices, and multiple apps."
