    Google to turn on 2-factor authentication for 150MN

    " By the end of the year, Google will require 150 MILLION
    people to use its two-step verification process to login to
    accounts, using one-time codes for apps too. YouTube will also
    require around 2MN content creators to do the same.

    " Google claims it is one of the most reliable ways to prevent
    hacks, which requires a secondary personal device to be
    registered.

    that one time code is pretty useful actually.
