Google on Tuesday rolled out a nasty-complicated but insanely secure version of its Google accounts aimed at "those who need it most," such as journalists, politicians and activists.
So what do you think GAF? think this will stop any more "Podesta" issues from happening this time around? too much? Not enough? Sounds like its pretty much uncrackable.

SAN FRANCISCO Google on Tuesday rolled out a nasty-complicated but insanely secure version of its Google accounts aimed at "those who need it most," such as journalists, politicians and activists. It's not pretty but stands a good chance of keeping the bad guys out.
Called the Advanced Protection Program, it requires users to jump through a series of hoops most Internet companies have worked for years to make go away dongles, extra passwords, locked-down systems that can't talk to anything else and a non-intuitive sign-up procedure.
Signing up requires a Google account and then linking not one but two dongles, or small devices that connects to a computer's USB port or via Bluetooth. Each produces a highly secure code key that uses the standards of the international FIDO Alliance (for Fast IDentity Online.)
These plastic keys are about the size of a regular door key but instead hold codes Google uses to verify that youre you and that you should have access to the account. The key can go into the USB drive on a computer or via Bluetooth to a mobile device such as a phone.
So what do you think GAF? think this will stop any more "Podesta" issues from happening this time around? too much? Not enough? Sounds like its pretty much uncrackable.
