Thanks, how do you set it up, is it an option on eBay?

I do not know if EBay has this two step process. I only have it my SSN account and my 401K account..

Yes, ebay has it. Literally, every website that deals in financial transactions should have it; if they dont, dont use them. Usually you need to go to security or user options, etc. Worst case, just search for it in the site's search bar. There are several ways/choices, but I prefer a text to my cell number. Thus, unless someone hacks my cell (which is very possible, but less likely), only I can log into things via the second authentication.

Ben, I am a technology moron, and I can figure it out, so I have faith in you!
