Facebook Unveils New Temporary Password Security Feature

Facebook has launched a new security feature allowing users to request a temporary password if they are using a public computer.

A post on the Facebook blog explains that users can text “otp” to 32665 on their mobile phone, and receive a password that can be used only once and expires in 20 minutes. In order for this to work, the Facebook user must have a mobile phone number in their account.

This feature should make it safer to use public computers in places like cafes, libraries and airports.
