2 Factor Authentication can be a big issue, so first of all, what is it? It's about using phone authentication to back up online password authentication in touchy security situations.
I don't know how it works, but it is claimed that lots of web security is vulnerable to a so-called man in the middle attack. The only way to 100-percent avoid this is through true phone authentication even using an additional telephone authentication.
So the hacker can get you in the never ending cyberchase, because they can exploit this vulnerability when you log in sensitive passwords and go to financial things like your bank account. Another solution to your security needs is to use a Smart Card. Smart cards confirm that the user is authorized. Finally, in the case of ultra-security applications you can use a Biometric Authentication Service that usually relies on fingerprint scanning.
Be careful because everything can be blown aside, including the SSL lock, and your feeling of safety through viewing online authenticity certificates. You can eventually patch it up, but until you get it straight you are going to have to get better security.
It's a bummer man, it is not a happy thing, but you see, these dudes Ray and Dispensa showed this vulnerability to a group of high-class geeks, so it must be for real. So you see, we are talking about man-in-the-middle attack in the worst way, to your precious, adorable and vulnerable SSL libraries. That is the way it is in geekland. No matter what the good guys dream up, the evil hacker is in the cyberchase and going after you. You need this additional security to make everything nice and safe until everything is patched up, and I mean you need to download it now big boy or girl, and don't be slow about it. It's just like that cartoon that my kid watches on PBS, the Cyberchase, the hacker just never gives up, no matter what. If you jail one, another fills his or her place.
