Nice links Sarbajit. It wasn't clear if it was single-factor or "single sign on" i.e. a single login into the entire Google ecology of services via the same name/password pair. The latter could be internal server issues.

I suspect it is. -- Owen On Sun, Mar 17, 2013 at 10:45 PM, Sarbajit Roy <[email protected]> wrote: > > http://arstechnica.com/security/2013/03/new-attacks-on-ssl-decrypt-authentication-cookies/ > > Gmail's / Google's single factor authentication was facing problems all of > yesterday. > > > http://ibnlive.in.com/news/google-plus-gmail-suffer-temporary-disruption/373250-11.html > > On Mon, Mar 18, 2013 at 9:39 AM, Owen Densmore <[email protected]>wrote: > >> I've mentioned turning off 3-rd party cookies.
