Facebook Introduces Disposable Passwords

Facebook is trying some new security measures to help its 500 million users . Now, they have announced in their blog that they are going to allow disposable passwords for the US users . Most of the times users get hacked using public computers due to lack of security in those computers. This disposable password will help you login with your one-time passwords to make it safer to use public computers in places like hotels, cafes or airports.

 

You think twice before trying to login from public places as you might think that someone might get access to your password . In this feature your one time password will be sent to you as a text message in your mobile .

Simply text “otp” to 32665 on your mobile phone (U.S. only), and you’ll immediately receive a password that can be used only once and expires in 20 minutes. In order to access this feature, you’ll need a mobile phone number in your account.
