verification

A global payment service provider WorldPay is partnering with RSA, The Security Division of EMC dealing, to support the cardholder verification processes in the US and UK when RSA provides RSA® Adaptive Authentication for eCommerce authentication services for major card associations.

As part of RSA’s ecommerce security services, RSA now incorporates the WorldPay Risk Guardian platform, one of the leading ecommerce platforms in the industry, to help it process card owner verification checks.

Users of Google services will now be better protected with the newly launched 2-step verification system.

The 2-step verification includes your password and code you get via your phone.

Google explained in its post on the official blog: “Take your time to carefully set up 2-step verification—we expect it may take up to 15 minutes to enroll. A user-friendly set-up wizard will guide you through the process, including setting up a backup phone and creating backup codes in case you lose access to your primary phone.”

More secure sign-in functionality was added by Google for its Google Apps accounts. Now users log in with a two step verification. Google says this "significantly increases the security of the cloud."
