2 Step Verification

I have been using GMail for some time and Google have now recently introduced Google Authenticator, which works with the iPhone

Fabulous system whereby if you try to access your GMail account on another PC you will need not be able to logon without authenticating/verifying this account.

This goes for hackers too!!

2-step verification adds an extra layer of security for your Google Apps account by requiring you to enter a verification code in addition to your username and password, when signing in to your account.

So for a hacker to get into my account he also needs my iPhone!!

Too late for the OP but I see that Yahoo have their own 2 Step Verification in beta testing in USA and Canada. Not in Europe until after March of next year!
