Paypal has taken a security measure to the next level, maybe on par with financial institution’s internet banking with a new security feature.

Familiar with Maybank’s TAC (transaction authorization code)?? If you’re a Maybank’s internet banking user, sure you’ll be. So, this one has almost similar concept with that.

The new feature is the extension of the Paypal Security Key token introduced earlier. Besides the key being generated from the token, there is another option where the key is now sent to your registered mobile phone.

But wait, this security feature is at present not available in most countries including Malaysia. The lucky ones are United States, Australia, Austria, Canada and Germany. Paypal account holders from these countries can register via registration page.

No second security layer to us just yet, so make sure you secured your account sufficiently.
