PayPal Introduces Security Token
The online finance service PayPal, which is used by many people on eBay to pay for items, is introducing a security token to tackle fraud. This security token will randomly generate a 6 digits code every 30 seconds, which is used as part of the login process for the website together with their username and password of course.
The introduction of the token was a positive step for PayPal because password security had reached “breaking point”. Security tokens are common in the business world and are often used by companies as an extra security layer when logging in to corporate networks remotely. This would really ensure the security of the daily online transaction, as far as i know there isn’t any news on the success breach on this token. The only inconvenient is customer has to carry the token around unlike the usual password where it is always inside your head
To me, if is really nessecary then i doesn’t mind carrying a token around me. Is money that we are dealing here. Who would want their money to goes cheated or vanished over by a fraud?
