Twitter has launched its phone-number based password killer dubbed 'Digits' that allows users to log into apps and services using just their phone, giving them a much needed break from remembering multiple passwords.

According to the Verge, the effort stands separate from Twitter's own app - insiders compare it to Vine; a separate but related product - but the interface will look familiar to anyone who's enabled two-factor authentication to log into a Twitter account.

Digits is part of Twitter's attempt at engaging more into product development, alongside a suite of mobile development tools called Fabric and a crash-tracking app called Crashlytics, the report said.
