DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 So I changed my password this morning and now they are requiring me to do it again. Apparently everyone has to now and the site is locked up. A million people trying to change their passwords at the same time. The people at eBay are geniuses. What a cluster you know what. Sent from my iPad using Brickpicker Have said it before - sometimes dumb people come up with an idea good enough that it can't fail. Doesn't change the fact that they are dumb. I'm looking for Paypal to say something though. thats what CANT get breached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 these darn attacks and becoming worse and more frequent. anyone else going abck to using their PayPal security token (looks like a keyfob...at least the one i have). more info i found. http://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/05/ebay-urges-password-changes-after-breach/ " eBay is asking users to pick new passwords following a data breach earlier this year that exposed the personal information of an untold number of the auction giant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Yeah I need to go to the security key. Its annoying, but worth it if you don't want to take a chance. Eventually everything is going to have a security key on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually everything is going to have a security key on it. i paid $5 each for two PayPal keyfobs when the concept was introduced. seems they are around $30 now. nice.. still worth the price tag unless people have a better option. at least it works on both ebay and paypal now. https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin?cmd=xpt/Marketing_CommandDriven/securitycenter/PayPalSecurityKey-outside&bn_r=o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
