You already stated the point, that there is no sense in sending a link in a probably unencrypted email to an email account that is protected by a simple password, which is probably stored in my insecure mobile device.... And SMS/text messages sent to mobilde devices are no good protection as the news over the last few weeks again demonstrated. | |
