Use Multi Step authentication

If you only use your login and password to sign in to Twitter, you can now add multi-step authentication to it.

Close third party applications completely

Stop using third party applications completely or use them very carefully. Be aware that there are many third party applications that use Twitter accounts to log in. A user should not give third party applications access to his account. You should be careful with this. Do not log in if not required as many times third party app saves your Twitter account password. Due to which the risk of your account getting hacked increases. 

Save followers list / download Twitter archive

Use caution before following anything on a Twitter account. Find out whether this account is official or not. Many Twitter users are adding information from other social networks to their bios or even Twitter display names so that people can contact them. Before following any account, it is very important to find out what and what kind of information the account is presenting. And keep your followers list private. Also you can download your Twitter archive if you want to make sure it is preserved. 

Use strong password

Always make your password strong for social media especially Twitter and make sure that this password is not used anywhere else. Use upper case, lower case, numbers and symbols in a strong password. Use password management software to keep all your login information secure.
