Security & Hacking: "Dropbox two-step verification security option"

Sounds like Dropbox has Two Factor Authentication available via Beta, full story at http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/26/3269423/dropbox-two-step-verification-security-beta

If you use Dropbox this is probably a good idea, but if they are hacked from inside again, it might not do much good, I don't recommend Dropbox for critical data, there are a lot better choices available for that, and honestly Dropbox is about easy access not security.

If you are worried about security of items stored on Dropbox, encrypt first with Truecrypt or similar first.

And USE A STRONG PASSWORD!
