NEW YORK, N.Y. - Twitter is adding an extra security measure to users' accounts in an effort to prevent unauthorized logins. Twitter said in a blog post Wednesday that users will be able to enrol in a login verification program.

Besides their username and password, users will have to enter the code to log in as well.

Councillor Doug Ford, who took no questions following a statement that was mostly a stump speech, did little to address the allegations that have plagued the mayor for almost a week. "Rob is telling me these stories are untrue, that these accusations are ridiculous," Ford said. "And I believe him."
