    I see on the Mesh blog that they enabled two factor authentication but I can't find anything that tells how to go about doing so. Any suggestions?

    Thank you.

    The only authentication is signing in with your LiveID.
    The two factor authentication on the blog refers to signing into Remote Desktop on the remote PC when using Live Mesh remote desktop functionality. How that works is beyond me since I have never had to deal with smart card authentication, just my login credentials.

    Odd, I didn't receive a notification that you'd answered. Anywho, thanks for the reply. I was hoping for something beyond a password, such as a smart card, key file or physical token. I'm also quite paranoid. ;-)
