X assures passkey reset is nothing to worry about

X (formerly Twitter) sparked security concerns over the weekend when it announced users must re-enroll their security keys by November 10 or face account lockouts - without initially explaining why.

When a platform forcibly rotate security keys, it's often a sign it is working through incident response protocols - eradicating adversaries from a network and keeping them out.

X Prompts Users To Update Security Info Ahead of Twitter.com Retirement

"By November 10, we're asking all accounts that use a security key as their two-factor authentication (2FA) method to re-enroll their key to continue accessing X. You can re-enroll your existing security key, or enroll a new one. After November 10, if you haven't re-enrolled a security key, your account will be locked until you: re-enroll; choose a different 2FA method; or elect not to use 2FA (but we always recommend you use 2FA to protect your account!)."
