I didn't say the passwords would actually log you in, just that they can be used across all services, they cannot be for example limited to mail as the person I was responding to stated. So you could use an app specific password across Goog

Ya, I think that's a good point; we can all agree that two factor auth is a significant win for users and it's good Google has done it. I just think people should be clear on what the keys can and cannot protect you against. You mentioned r

by mapgrep 15y ago
No, if someone gets the password you've set aside for your IMAP client, they get access to all services. This is factually wrong: "all they can do is read your mail." As someone with Google two-factor auth and an iPhone, I can tell you it's

You have pointed to guidance on the "massive lag in growth" by partner sites but not to the "stellar 2011 Q2 earnings" by Google sites. The latter earnings growth is truly exceptional: Google sites grew 39 percent in Q2 2011 vs 22, 22, 23 a

That doesn't explain the sudden strong spike in Google's own earnings, it only explains the decline in network earnings. How is Google harvesting some of the Panda changes for itself? As it happens the FTC is probing whether it is unfairly

If that's true then come out and say it's true. Don't be coy. No, really, don't: You can't have it both ways, implying the original author is somehow dumb without being willing to stick your neck out enough to say it yourself. Pointing to a

I still have no idea why you keep bringing up the finance industry - it brings no credibility to this discussion or your points, which seem reasonable enough. Even the "security people" taken collectively have no keen track record so why ar

Exactly. You shouldn't trust a particular technique just because a financial institution uses it. They have very little institutional culture around security, as you yourself point out. So I'm not sure why you brought up the fact that finan

If the institution chooses an insecure password policy, it heightens the likelihood it will fail to ensure good SSL settings. This tendency is independent of the fact that these functionalities are implemented by different teams, and that

While you hit on a genuine problem, there are far fewer legal barriers to Google, Facebook, Twitter or Microsoft terminating your account than for US ICE to seize your .com and .org; ICE needs a warrant for seizure and more to retain indefi

Does the export include email addresses? Facebook offers an "export" too, but you just end up with HTML pages with your friends' names and no contact info.
