    The new site brings quite a bit of new security features...

    • SSL - the site is HTTPS *only* now
    • Account history - the "History" link in the footer of every page will show you locations we can recently logged your account at. You should be able to quickly tell if an unauthorized user has accessed your account.
    • Two-Factor Authentication - you can add extra security to your account by needing physical access to your cell phone (or iPod/iPad) to log in. You can set two-factor auth on your account here: https://forums.digitalpoint.com/account/security

    As a bonus to being SSL only, we are also utilizing the SPDY protocol underneath it all, so the site should be extra fast when using a browser that supports SPDY (Firefox, Chrome or Opera currently).

    I love the two-factor authentication, now I know for sure nobody can hack my account and also love the SSL, more security thru payments :)
