While most of us here prefer Google, Windows Live does have one great feature that Gmail doesn’t yet provide: a single-use security code that lets you login on a public computer without having your password stolen. Here’s how it works.
尽管我们大多数人都喜欢Google,但Windows Live确实具有Gmail尚未提供的一项出色功能:一次性使用的安全代码,可让您在公用计算机上登录而无需密码被盗。 运作方式如下。
The security code actually works by hooking up your cell phone number into your account, and then signing in with a single-use security code sent to your phone as a text message—it only works once, so even if there’s a keylogger on the public computer it won’t matter.
该安全代码实际上是通过将您的手机号码挂接到您的帐户,然后使用以短信形式发送到您手机的一次性使用的安全代码进行登录来工作的,它只能工作一次,因此即使有公开的键盘记录程序电脑没关系。

To use this feature, anytime you head to the Windows Live login page for any Windows Live service, you’ll be able to click the “Get a single use code to sign in with” link—if you don’t see this and instead see your username, click to login as another user first.
要使用此功能,只要您转到任何Windows Live服务的Windows Live登录页面,就可以单击“获取一次性使用的代码进行登录”链接-如果看不到此链接,而是查看您的用户名,请先单击以其他用户身份登录。
