PayPal Security Key

Phishing is a serious problem on the Internet as people's login information is taken from them completely undetected. As PayPal controls the biggest online payment system in the world, they are the biggest target for phishing schemes.

To combat this growing threat PayPal is releasing a security key generator for a one-time purchase of $5. The key is free if you have a PayPal Business account. The key is linked to your account, and every 30 seconds generates a new numeric pin that you enter in when logging into your PayPal account. Therefore, even if someone gets your login and password, they won't be able to access your account without knowing your security key. After the 30 second number expires, it disappears forever to be replaced by a new number that will last for 30 seconds.
