Everytime you log in with your Paypal password you look at your security key and it spits out a 6 digit code which changes every 30 seconds .

I use something similar for a commercial bank account. It works great. Probably everyone will have to go to that eventually. A lot of crooks are taking advantage of PP and ebay.

That key looks cool, I didnt know they offered that. I use a wamu freechecking account linked my paypal account and deposit money into it as I need parts. I figure that way they cant jack my real checking account for the mortgage and at most would get a couple hundred.

Wow , only two days and Paypal has refunded my money
Seems my wife accidently opened a link to a fake email asking to upgrade my card info as it had expired even though she didn't update the info and they didn't get my card or banking information they got my passwords when she logged into the fake site.

Needless to say i have changed all passwords on the computer , limited my Paypal funds and have ordered the security key and she must not reply to any emails unless i look at them first
