Same here. A few years ago someone on a sewing list talked about a "security key" you could get from PP for $5. Every time you log in you press the button on this little thing and it generates a 6-digit number that you enter in the box after you enter your login info. I have no idea if this helps or not but I do use it every time! I should ask them if and how it helps! It doesn't automatically log you out tho, still have to do that myself.
