I am glad you got back more than what you lost :-)

yeah, neither would I. It was probably my own fault, though.

The token isn't a replacement for a password, they work in tandem, which is nice. neither losing the thing, nor giving out your password, will compromise your accounts.

That's an amazing experience. Never would I have thought Paypal accounts could be so easily hacked. Or was it just you? :P

Anyhow that's a very enlightening post there... but if I were to take that gadget with me where I go, I'd probably no sooner lost it than I would give out my password for free =.=;

Nice, nonetheless :)

lame. sorry about that. I've disabled openID for comments for the moment, then, until I can sort it out.

I wrote a huge comment and the openID thing got me again. Not a big deal, but I was just sorry to hear this happened to you. I change my passwords relatively often and have to remember 3 or 4 back for the sites I don't visit often. I wonder if it is worth having a list of sites to change and just do it once a month or so........

yeah, I've got the thing clipped to my bag right now, since I don't trust my keychain to not destroy the thing (I have a bike repair/bottle opener thing, and often bike to work). Being able to bypass it does seem foolish.

I used one of those for a while. Except I found myself needing to log in away from home. And I couldn't be bothered to carry it with me. There's a way to bypass it by providing extra information, so I disabled it after a while.

And now I'm thinking twice . . .
