paypal security?

Question

i'm worried about my paypal security. all thats required is my email address and password to send money from my account. if my details are captured by keyloggers, i may lose a lot of money. i'm already using AVG and Spyware doctor.

i'm wondering if there's another layer of security thats already in place or applicable for me?

Answer 1

There are couple of things to be aware of Paypal requires you to Log on, it is very secure.
Next you will occasionally recieve e-mail from plishers, poseing as Paypal. They are not, Paypal informs all users that they will never send you an email asking to update information or that someone has accessed your account and click on the link provided and update your information. these are all spoofs hopeing you will click on there link and give your username and password. It is all a Hoax.
Paypal requires you to do some certian things to be verified , after that you are good to go it is as safe as online banking. There are literally millions of users that use it. It is safe as long as you read and don't get dupped by not reading all the security warnings.

Suggestion, use Roboform to hold logins and passwords. They will be held in a safely encrypted safe on your PC. To login to Roboform set up a pass phrase of 30-40-50 characters,
Once logged into Roboform you can use it to open sites such as PayPal without keying in anything.
I'd also suggest you get a decent firewall, non-of this freebie stuff used by the gamers.

when using paypal goto the paypal site, or if you buy something online that accepts paypal for example make sure it takes you the paypal site for payment.
change your password often and make sure its atleast 6 characters long i.e contains numbers too
