The PayPal Security Key creates random temporary security codes that help safeguard your PayPal account when you log in. It comes in 2 types, each with different advantages:

1. Security key: You carry this small credit-card sized device with you. It creates a unique security code on the go.
2. Mobile phone security key: You can sign up to get security codes sent by text message to your mobile phone.

The credit-card size PayPal Security Key costs $29.95, and there's no monthly service fee or additional cost. Replacement keys are the same price.

Has been on there for ages, however just lately it takes several minutes for Paypal to send the code through. But saying that Paypal isn't the best site to find things on.
