When I started using Google's 2-factor authentication I set a rough timer on how long it would take for me to receive some spam via phone call or sms. It took under 24 hours for that to happen. These Web 2.0 services are checkmated by their myopia. They just don't understand (or care about) the nebulous nature of identity and the fact that the challenge can only be effectively addressed by semantics baked into machine-readable structured data, as efforts such as the WebID+TLS demonstrate. Via 2-factor authentication Web 2.0 players continue to force users to release private data (e.g., phone numbers) to 3rd parties. Privacy (as you know) is all about "You" being the calibrator of your vulnerabilities on or offline. It is "You" that decides that you will lock you door at night, not some dumb and extremely myopic robot in the cloud etc.. Anyway, 2-factor is better than 1-factor :-) -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Founder & CEO OpenLink Software Company Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Personal Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter/Identi.ca handle: @kidehen Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/112399767740508618350/about LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen
