SSL in Authorization

Some web applications use SSL to protect the application's authentication page,because this prevents the user's password from traveling in the clear and thus protects the password from eavesdropping attacks, but then they don't use SSL to encrypt the rest of the application's traffic. This largely renders the password orrelevant, however,because the attacker can still snoop on the unencrypted traffic in order to steal the session ID and impersonate the user that way. If you're going to use SSL at all,you really want to use it for your whole application.

Do you think , Google makes a mistake ?

It seems Google makes a new mistake by launching its new security key (2-step verification) one of the steps is USB device . The question :how come can i plug USB into my mobile (I-Phone , I-Pad , Samsung Galaxy , ....) ! Do Google know the difficulties while you are holding a USB on your hand all the time . so You can't access your account if it's not in your hands. or it's damaged ? This solution is hopeless , I think it's designed for small audience. As someone says : Can you convince the Bank Manager while you are putting the USB Device into the bank PC, that you are securing your PC , not stealing the bank data, or not transferring amounts of money to other account . or what else . You know , This way is not quietly good , If I have many accounts on Google and other websites ,I need many USB devices to verify myself. That's of course , not good at all.
