Valve unveils hardware based security

[YROC]

Valve has announced a new hardware-based security system for Steam called Steam Guard, which will allow users to link their account management options to a single PC.

Making use of Intel's forthcoming Identity Protection Technology, Steam Guard will let users limit control of their Steam account to a single PC, meaning that even if their password is cracked, their accounts will remain secure. They'll also be notified if any unauthorized PC attempts to log into the account or modify settings.
