Two factor authentication

There are many problems with requiring a username and a password for security. A hacker can guess them, or they can use any number of tools available on the Internet for cracking into accounts.

Many web sites use your email address as the username. This weakens security because the hacker does not need to figure out your username. He already knows and this makes getting into your account even easier.

If you are allowed to choose your own password then it’s very likely you will choose something you can remember, which means it may be possible for a hacker to use some standard techniques to figure it out.
