Twitter is looking to add another layer of protection to its user authentication. After having at least 250,000 accounts' passwords compromised in an attack against its service last week, Twitter apparently plans to implement two-factor authentication as an option to help users better protect their accounts—or at least it's hiring people to help do that.

In a job listing posted by Twitter this week, the company seeks software engineers to develop "user-facing security features, such as multifactor authentication and fraudulent login detection." When contacted by Ars, a representative for Twitter said the company has no specific details to share about its plans at this time.
