A couple of weeks ago, I posted about how Google and PayPal support two-step authentication on their services, allowing you to use your mobile phone to add an extra layer of security to your username/password login.

Today, some exciting news — we’ve announced on WordPress.com that we are adding SMS two-step authentication to our offering, as well as other text messaging features including comment moderation, theme change notifications, and post publishing notification.

Check out all the details on the announcement post on the WP.com news blog.
