Got this from (allegedly) Twitter
So right off the bat I can tell for sure that it ain't me trying to log on to that shite, but it doesn't leave me much choice either now does it?

Speaking as a security professional, this is pretty standard practice for a solid user experience. I’m rather surprised someone in a privacy community would take umbrage at this because security and privacy are closely linked. When someone attempts to steal your account, do you not want an alert?
The easiest way to get rid of this email is to delete your Twitter account.
The point of contention here is not that OP doesn't like this kind of verification, but that he believes that Twitter is making up the sign in attempt to get OP to actually log in and report higher usage metrics in Q3.
I don't think OP opposes 2FA, at least not from the info he posted.
There's no way a campaign like this is going to growth users use metrics in a significant way to cheat a quarterly report
I agree, I'm just explaining OP's logic
