YHOO breach has turned into quite a mess.
Sorry to hear you took a hit MiamiGent.

I need to beef up the defenses here too.

So far avoided 2-step authentication,
because it's an extra step!

However, I've used it on brokerage for a long time:
hardware security token generates a number cryptographically,
displays it on a small LCD,
and you enter that as the 2nd step.

Acknowledgement: I have been guilty from time to time of slipping my politics into a post and I shouldn't do that. If everyone took that liberty, we'd eventually have a non stop, 24 hour food fight on the board.
When I feel those occasional urges, ihub has some good such boards to vent on. This board is about making money on stocks.
This particular attached post PS had more to do email security than politics but other times it has been politics.
No one brought this to my attention- it's self reproachment, lol.
