Dropbox Adds Two-Factor Authentication

angry tapir writes "File-sharing service Dropbox is now offering two-factor authentication, a system that makes it much harder for hackers to capture valid credentials for a person's account.

    Maybe now you can shut up and stop using lame memes that don't even have anything to do with the article. Go back to watching Cartoon Network, neckbeard. Leave the computing to the adults.
