work with Internet security have for some time
advocated the use of "two-factor authentication"
instead of a simple password control over access
to sensitive or private information. Nobody likes
to make things harder than we think they need to
be, however, so adoption of two-factor
authentication has been fairly limited. But last
week, that may have begun to change, as Microsoft
announced that two-factor authentication will be
available (though not necessarily required) for
all Windows products and services.

you for two pieces of information anytime you
access your account - for example, your password
plus a code sent to a phone or email on file as
security info. More than a year ago, we began
bringing two-step verification for certain
critical activities, like editing credit cards
and subscriptions at commerce.microsoft.com and
xbox.com, or accessing files on another one of
your computers through SkyDrive.com. For these
scenarios, two-step verification is required 100

sensitive nature of these tasks."</li>

Twitter hack sends stock market spinning</a>
(New York Magazine/Kevin Roose) "In my opinion,
there is really only one lesson from this
afternoon's flash-crash: namely, Twitter needs
multi-step authentication for verified and/or
news-breaking accounts <em>now</em>. Twitter
has gotten calls for stronger security measures
for years, and it's always been pretty reluctant
to promise anything. (Last year, the company <a
href="http://techcrunch.com/2012/11/08/twitter-responds-about-implementing-two-factor-authentication-for-more-security-in-the-future/">would
say only</a>, "We've certainly explored
two-factor authentication among other security
measures, and we continue to introduce features,
such as https, to help users keep their accounts
secure.") But after today's data point, it can't
wait any longer."</li>
