Just last week, Instagram confirmed reports that it's working on modifications to its two-factor authentication setup that will allow you to create passcodes in your favourite security app - like Google Authenticator, for example. While this isn't the sexiest of news, it's great to see this security practice growing in popularity: using an app, rather than a text message, to authenticate into other apps and services.
Mac: It's been a few years since we've seen AgileBits release a major update to its killer password management app, 1Password, which is why everyone's so excited about last week's debut of 1Password 7. This app should pretty much be a household name at this point, as it's one of the major password managers we recommend to create and store super-secure passwords and passphrases.
Mac: The login screen on a Mac is purposefully devoid of information, but if you'd like to add just a little more info, MacIssues shows you how to with Terminal command.
You're probably used to logging in to your Windows computer with a password. However, if you're using a Microsoft account to log in to Windows, a PIN lock may be a more secure option.
