Dropbox just got your Box safer!

It is not a surprise to see big websites or application to take measures in securing their member's account these days.

Hackers can be every where and your account may falls into the wrong hand if you're not securing enough!

Dropbox had just launched their Two-Step Verification to get our box harder to breached open.

What's a two-step verification you'd ask.

Two-step verification adds an extra layer of protection to your account.

Whenever you sign in to the Dropbox website or link a new device, you'll need to enter both your password and also a security code sent to your mobile phone.

Turning on two-step verification is simple: go to the new Security tab in your Dropbox account settings and enable two-step verification in the “Account sign in” section.

In Blackberry neither.
