DropBox<\/a> is cool. I use it to keep my many computers in sync. This includes keeping my password manager master safe file in sync (you all use password managers<\/a>, right?) Even though that file is encrypted with a good encryption algorithm<\/a>, it\u2019s still a file I would like to protect. I used a pretty strong password on my DropBox account, but it\u2019s still just a password.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, though, DropBox now supports two-factor authentication<\/a>. If you have a Google account, and you use Google\u2019s two-factor authentication (like you should<\/a>!), it\u2019s incredibly easy to add, because it works with Google Authenticator. Just enable two-factor in DropBox, go to Google Authenticator on your phone, add new account, scan the barcode, and done.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, this means that two-factor authentication is becoming more mainstream. I\u2019ll be a lot happier when Facebook supports it, but for now, DropBox support is fantastic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
