For $5.00 USD you can order a PayPal Security key. This is an introductory offer, so I suspect the price will go up before too long.
What it does. It generates a one time use 6 digit number that changes every 30 seconds. You enter that code when you log in to your PayPal or eBay account with your regular user name and password. Then the code expires – no one else can use it. How cool is that?
As soon as I heard about it, I got one. Why? Because it's worth five bucks for the extra peace of mind.
Get it out at PayPal Security Key and rest a little easier.
The key is free if you choose to receive it via SMS text message.
This is a minor hassle. All Paypal users should use it.
