Peace of mind online: Intel® Identity Protection Technology (Intel® IPT)

Make sure your favorite websites know it’s you. Intel® Identity Protection Technology (Intel® IPT)4 helps protect your identity and assets online by adding a trusted link to your system, your accounts, and your favorite online places. It’s better online identity protection, authenticated by you. (Available only on select Intel-inspired Ultrabook™ devices featuring 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processors.)

Is this the resurgence of the Intel Pentium III serial number? In 2nd-generation Core CPUs?

What hasn't Intel been telling us?

Where's the outcry?

Not sure about this since it's the first i've heard of it but hopefully they don't force you to participate!!

This looks to be Intel's own OTP (one-time password) technology. It's pretty much like an RSA token:

It's definitely nothing to be concerned about.

Thanks, that seems ok to me.
