I don't know why twitter was so late while introducing this system while others already have but as said by twitter officials.
                                                            "Every day, a growing number of people log in to Twitter. Usually these login attempts come from the genuine account owners, but we occasionally hear from people whose accounts have been compromised by email phishing schemes or a breach of password data elsewhere on the web."
                           Is there any difficulty while understanding any point in this post than feel free to comment down here cuz comments are more than welcome on this blog.I am waiting anxiously for your precious thoughts that you want to share with me about this new and improved system.Till then happy blogging.
