Google just turned on two factor authentication for Google Accounts.
It kind of sucks if you have a bunch of mobile devices and mail clients,
each one gets its own pass, or just use the same for all(not a good idea).
Each browser you try to access your account from, you have to 2-factor auth.
If my iPad got stolen, I can revoke all passwords for that system. You can
also revoke all cookies for your account too.
