The Official Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) Blog had an announcement this week that Google was beefing up Google Docs security by adding a secondary layer after the password. The way it works is an administrator sets up the two-level approach, and when you sign in, you enter a password and then Google sends a code by SMS to your mobile phone (the assumption here is that everyone has one, I guess). You then use that code as your secondary security level. Google hopes this will help users battle phishing scams and password stealing. For more information, see the Google blog post.
