PayPal Security Key

For everyone who uses PayPal and/or eBay: the PayPal Security Key.

It’s a device that generates a temporary 6-digit security code every 30 seconds. Use it every time you log in for added security.

Brilliant idea, and one that really shows that ebay/PayPal are really taking security seriously, regardless of issues they have had in the past. I feel much better about using their services. In addition to this, this device is developed by VeriSign, who is used by approximately everyone. It could only be a good thing if more ecommerce sites and shoppers began to use this device.
