Dropbox: protects you with a second lock

Drofboks storage service introduced a two-stage validation mechanism relies on a cell phone, a month after it breached some accounts

Dropbox is more secure. Popular storage service recently added authentication option two - stage - one of the surest ways to keep your data in the cloud. In the new mechanism, beyond the introduction of a password, you will need to enter a code to one - time that can be sent to your phone number and can be used by software installed on the smartphone.
This new mechanism is safer than ever - its reliance on a single password. Recall that even if your password contains 30 characters, a combination of numbers and letters, and a few exclamation points in the middle, it will not help if someone broke into the site hoarding your password in an encrypted database and steal the data. In the case of verifying a two - stage, those people will steal your cell phone to access the account.
Drofboks is not the first company that operates this mechanism. Google launched a similar mechanism last year. Dropbox's move comes after the beginning of the month, admitted Dropbox the email account of one of its employees has been compromised, and his stolen information of users.
