Facebook Introduces One-Time Passwords 215
angry tapir writes "Worried about logging into Facebook from a strange computer? There's now a way to get into the popular social network without entering your regular Facebook password. It's called a temporary password. To use it, users must list their mobile phone numbers with their Facebook accounts. They can then text a number from their phones and Facebook sends back a temporary password that is good for 20 minutes. The service will be available worldwide in the next few weeks."

That's the one where they steal your cellphone number, and use it to track your movements, then wait until you're all alone and kidnap you, taking you to the desert and forcing you to build giant pyramids all day, right?
