I had my reservations about this, but it seems to be a really positive level of protection with no downside. I haven't used it yet, but I can't see a reason not too. Activate on as many computers as you want, you just need to validate from your email address. ++valve
Yeah, I was afraid they'd turn it into a 1 computer DRM scheme, but they still let you use on as many as you like, just that if its not the primary you gotta get a code from the email. Seems fine to me. I doubt I'll use it though since I already verified my email to help protect my account.

Edit:
WTF VALVE!! Its enabled by DEFAULT and no way to disable it?!!?

Edit 2:
Ok, its a 1 time per computer authorization over email (thought it was every login) which isn't made clear or even mentioned in the support document thats supposed to explain it all, just the announcement. But still! Let there be an option to turn off if I enter a code from email.
