Twitter has made a couple of changes to the service’s login process to help prevent account takeovers and enable users to reset their passwords in a simpler way.

Accounts typically are tied to a user’s main email address and give an attacker access to the victim’s social sphere, and perhaps, other accounts. People are bad at remembering passwords, so they tend to reuse them across a number of different sites and services.
