Using one-time passwords to login to Facebook more securely

Facebook has just launched a great new feature for those of us who routinely login from computers away from home (ie. from public computers like hotels, airports, cafes, etc...). If you have any concerns about the security of the computer (or the wireless network) your using, you can now receive a one-time password to login to your account if you have an SMS capable phone (which most of us have).

To receive your one-time password:

--ensure you have your mobile phone number entered in your Facebook account

--text "otp" to 32665 on your mobile phone (U.S. only) and you'll receive a password that you can use only once and that expires in the next 20 min.

Facebook will be rolling this out over the coming weeks. Its a great new feature I'll be taking advantage of away from home!
