Some email systems (such as gmail) now offer two factor authentication to
make email accounts more difficult to compromise. I've always liked one
time password systems since I used S/Key many years ago. Also, I
implemented the software portion of a Vasco based OTP system at Virginia
Tech many years ago, too, and now I use the Google OTP functionality. I
think we'll see more and more of it and I encourage all gmail users to
enable it now. It provides decent security without too much inconvenience.
