Title: Feeling secure with Obi
Post by: SomeDude on April 23, 2011, 08:58:12 PM
I just wanted to make a note and let some folks know that if you don't already have Two-Factor authentication turned on in Gmail/Google Apps, you should. Two reasons;

1) General account security
2) You can assign a "application specific" password to both your Obi Portal AND you Obion device.

Not sure about you guys, but I don't trust *anyone* with my password. This solves both problems. I can restrict access that Obihai has, but I can allow it to still work.
