Text-message multi-factor authentication (MFA) is less secure, but at least there's a virtual paper trail of when the codes were triggered. This is important because:
1) Twitter only issues 1 software MFA token per account
2) Many notable persons, especially politicians, have a team of social media managers that share access to a single account. Giving multiple people access to the MFA token's seed phrase increases the attack surface to DMs and other potentially sensitive information.
