Google 2 Step Verification Makes harder to hack your Gmail Account

Google Mail introduces a great new protection feature that should beat more than a few google mail account hackers.

Basically, Google Mail now has an optional feature that, when activated, permits entry to your e-mail only after providing the password and a randomly generated password sent through your mobile phone.

Your e-mail password got stolen? Don’t worry, your mobile phone is safe and therefore they can’t get past the second requirement. This is exactly how the Battle.net authenticator works.

Google 2-step verification basically closes off this e-mail vulnerability – so that’s one thing less to worry about. But don’t think you’re 100% protected yet.
