Passwordless Authentication and Passwordless Security
It’s no secret — passwords can be a real headache, both for the people who use them and the people who manage them. Over time, we’ve created hundreds of passwords, it’s easy to lose track of them and they’re easily compromised. Fortunately, passwordless authentication is becoming a feasible reality for many businesses. Duo can help you get there.

I agree with the review below. I just made an account so I could rate this one star.

2-3 years ago I would give this a 5 star. Today the state of this program is a complete mess and it sucks so bad I can't even use it. When they migrated to Avogadro2 holy crap did this program turn into one giant turd. Bugs and errors left and right. Random crashes. Can't install from source because it is throwing errors. All I wanted to do was draw one molecule, save it as a PDB, and use it. THAT'S IT. I now wasted 2 hours just trying to get it working on multiple computers and OSes and I'm thoroughly angry at the state of the program. It's complete trash now. How did you all mess it up this bad? This is a disaster compared to the older versions. And worse yet I only get the new Avogadro2 when I try to install via package manager. This used to be one of the best molecule drawing programs, but now it's just a complete pile of garbage and buggy. It's just not worth using anymore.

I have seen my friend creating very nice science diagram using Avogadro, but when I tried to install it on my laptop, a message displaying MSVCR100.dll is missing appered and I couldnt use it. My laptop is 64Bit

Literally created a Sourceforge account just to give 5 stars. Really easy to use and has good control over building and viewing features. The SolidWorks of molecules.

Thank you very much for the free open source program!
