It looks like no-one here really seems to care about security, strong authentication and one time passwords. What a pity.

Well a blizzard-style (or the one you mentioned) psysical authenticator has been suggested a few times, there's nothing more we could do except suggest. It would be great to have one.

Common sense + 12+ digit password = Best password there is.

Honestly, the only reason people lose their accounts are because they give their account information away. May it be sites or people who impersonate Valve employees in some type of way it still happens.

Also this would only make those who already are secure more secure. Because stupid people will ALWAYS find a way to make themselves look more stupid. It's not like they will even use this type of thing.

Yea people suggest new ways to protect accounts all the time, but like i've said and as Zefar said, only those who actually care about security will do it and those people already have a strong password and know to avoid silly links.

I found it, I found it!

lol, so here`s that security feature you guys are all talking about:
commonsense security.

But srsly, yea, most people who might use it, won`t need it, and the people that really need it, might just "forget about it". cuz you`re not here to buy usb keys to add to your keychain, you`re here to play games.

...Just use a decent password and keep it to yourself.
