Recently, I was investigating these cryptographic security keyfob thingies. I have one for another (non-paypal related) purpose, and my existing one was acting up. I called the company to tell them that, but I didn't even know what they are formally called, so I went and did some googling (images) until I found some pictures of the things. I was totally and pleasantly surprised to find out that PayPal offers these things. I'm ultra-paranoid about security, and thus, I wish that I had one of these for *every* financial related account I have *everywhere*.
So anyway, I just called PayPal customer service a short time ago to ask them if I could have one of these things for my Paypal account.. They obviously DO exist. There are whole bunch of pictures of them in Google Images. But the PayPal customer rep I spoke with, and who identified himself only as "Brandon", was entirely unhelpful, bordering on rude. First he insisted that no such things had EVER existed, and then, when I got him to look at all of the images of the PayPal[tm] branded security keyfob things that are in Google Images, Brandon then changed tactics and instead insisted that although these things MIGHT have existed at one time, they must have been discontinued (as an available PayPal product) before he started working at PayPal in 2012.
So, you know, I mean WTF?? Do these things still exist here in September 2016 or not? If not, then why are people here in these forums still talking about them as if they do? And if they do exist, then who exactly do I have to bribe at PayPal in order to get one for my account? And why was "Brandon" such an annoying and unhelpful *&^%$#@ when I asked about them? Why couldn't he have just offered to sell me one? (I gather that they cost $5.)
