After putting a hold on verifying accounts, Twitter has announced today that it is back. And it is making it super simple to verify your account.
Previously, Twitter verification was a bit difficult, and there wasn’t really a set way to do it. There was talk about needing to wait for the @Verified account to follow you and then it’ll get you verified. Or you could pay (this was the shady method) to get verified.
Then we started seeing lots of popular accounts getting hacked for Bitcoin scams in 2018, like Elon Musk and Bill Gates’ accounts. So Twitter paused verification. But now it’s back, and it is super simple to get verified.
How can I get my Twitter account verified?
According to Twitter’s announcement today, it is very easy to start the verification process. There will be an option in your account settings, for you to get your account verified. Just tap on that option.
Then you’ll be asked to provide some information, like what category you fall into (government official, journalist, influencer, etc), and then providing identification.
Twitter says that the entire process should only take a couple of days. But, since it has just opened the flood gates (a bit), it may take longer, at least for now. Twitter has said that it is only making the setting available for a small number of accounts right now, to sort of battle the onslaught of verification requests that will be coming in.
This makes it very easy for Twitter verification to occur on your account. And for many, getting verified is definitely important. Especially those that are popular, so that other users know which account is really theirs. Seeing as we’ve seen a lot of parody and fake scamming accounts for popular people as of late. This is a way to combat that.
