Default Re: Password Security Suggestion--Key Fobs

Call me crazy, but my gut tells me that a password I make up is going to be more secure than a password that some company's algorithm generates. To this date, there is not a single piece of mainstream software that I know of whose serial number algorithm has not been cracked, and I don't see why that won't happen to paypal no matter how secure you say it is.

Obviously you do not under the technology, try reading the wiki links and the VeriSign site.

These are basically impossible to crack w/o having physical access to the server generating the keys. Seriously the sites should get on this. And I don't care if I have to carry more than one, the extra security would be worth it.
