X Prompts Users to Update Security Info Before Twitter.com Fully Retires
X has started sending an X security update prompt to millions of users. The company is preparing to move all services permanently from Twitter.com to x.com. As a result, people must update security information to stay logged in without interruption. This step is especially important for those using hardware security keys or passkeys for account protection. Therefore, users should review their login tools before the transition completes.
Why This Update Matters
The shift to x.com is more than just a name change. Security systems are often linked to the original domain. After the full migration, security keys registered under Twitter.com may stop working. This could lock users out of their profiles. In addition, X aims to improve platform identity and remove remaining traces of the old brand. The company believes this update will strengthen security and help create a smoother sign-in experience.
What Users Need to Do Now
To avoid account issues, users are advised to visit the security settings inside the app or website. They should re-add their key under the new x.com domain or switch to another approved login method. The process is quick and keeps accounts fully protected. For people who use SMS or authenticator apps, access should continue normally, yet reviewing settings is still encouraged. As a result, online safety remains strong while the platform completes its major transformation.
