Maybe someone who knows more can comment on this. If I want to post auctions with aw or any online software I now have to have my Yahoo security key on their server with Yahoo now requiring it for entry of an auction. Is this as dangerous as it sounds to me? If these services get hacked the hacker would be able to go right to my account and clean it out, plus have full access to my credit card on file. Won't this put a bullseye on every auction software system from the hackers? The security issues around protecting my auction password are important, but now my security key raises the stakes off the scale in my view. What I am I missing here? I must be wrong somehow.
