After completing the activation process, PayPal instructs you to use the system by logging in with your account name and then appending the time-based 6-digit code to your password. A listener of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grc.com\/securitynow.htm\">Security Now<\/a> podcast, however, suggested a procedure that seems more secure to me, however. Instead of adding the code to the end of your password and sending everything as a single string, press enter after typing your normal PayPal password without the 6-digit number. PayPal will then prompt you with a separate text box in which you can enter the digits alone. I used this process with my little purchase and the payment went through ok.<\/p>\n<p>BTW, if there are any other Stargate SG-1 fans reading this, I bought the HD version of webisodes 1 through 4 of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sanctuaryforall.com\/\">Sanctuary<\/a> online series. A number of the people involved with the SG-1 TV series are involved with this web project. So, I was curious enough to shell out a few dollars to see what it is about. I took a brief look at it and it looks pretty good so far. The CGI video production work looks great. I should make it clear that Sanctuary is NOT set in the SG-1 universe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I received my replacement PayPal Security Key and went through the activation process again.
