Ditto on the mobile number Dave. Just of late they seem to email me a security code about one in three tries to log in. It wastes a little bit of time but makes me feel very secure.
Thanks Dave. I'm intrigued by the idea of these VPN "thingys" but don't really understand what they are. Somewhere in the depths of the "fug" that is my mind I also seem to associate them with people who do "dodgy" stuff like viewing porn etc? I quite like the idea of maybe being able to "hide" from the "baddies" who may be trying to steal my credit card or personal details, if indeed that is what it would allow me to do?I have my mobile number registered with PayPal so they can text security numbers when needed. I use it for eBay so no worries about inactivity.
I'm thinking about getting a VPN but need to find one that's not got any association with China. Google "VPN avoiding china" and see what comes up!!!

Imagine driving from one place to another on the roads where people can see you and get to your carThanks Dave.

Thanks chris that's made it much clearer for me. I quite like the idea. How do i go about actually doing it - bearing in mind I've never had any proper computer training and just picked things up as I've gone along.Imagine driving from one place to another on the roads where people can see you and get to your car
Then imagine doing the same journeys but in a underground sealed tunnel on your own
Nobody but the people at each end knows exactly what's going on as your protected by the tunnel
Or encryption in computer term's as all the data traveling through the VPN is encrypted
