About the FaceBook OTP (One Time Password)

I clarify first of all that I am not a FaceBook user, the reasons I explained in this post and even dedicated an entire entry to the topic of FB.  I add that in the same way that I stopped using Twitter to come back after a while, with FB I will not say "from this water I will not drink" because I may "drown" or choke the words.

But that you do not use this service, does not mean that given the high level of implementation it has, it does not closely follow its evolutions. It is almost impossible to abstract or stay totally out of a mass phenomenon such as the one in question.

Such is the acceptance of FB, that if it were not for the fact that being a Linuxero one already knows how it is to belong to a minority, (with a lot of honor and without any complex) surely I thought that the "problem" or the "weird" is me, because the figures dizzy and the business, in terms of profitability, is like for many business gurus "to make them see it".

The truth is that it is not bad on paper this new functionality (existing for a long time) that FaceBook will enable very soon for all your accounts. This is the OTP concept, an acronym for "One Time Password" (announcement on the Facebook Blog). As a castizo would say, "passwords to use and throw away" (how to use OTP). You need to connect to FB, you send an SMS in the TV draw plan with the text "otp" to 32665 (I do not know if it will be charged, often-another-more-business) and you get to your mobile a key to use it only once and with an estimated duration of 20 minutes.
