Better idea: delete your Twitter passkey altogether, and leave the stupid site.

"To clarify: this change is not related to any security concern, and only impacts Yubikeys and passkeys – not other 2FA methods (such as authenticator apps)," X Safety stated.

"Security keys enrolled as a 2FA method are currently tied to the twitter.com domain. Re-enrolling your security key will associate them with x.com, allowing us to retire the Twitter domain."

Physical security key currently tied to the twitter.com domain won't work when users attempt to authenticate from the x.com domain, so they must be re-enrolled in preparation for what sounds like a sunsetting of the Twitter domain.
