America Online, Inc., the world’s leading interactive services company, and RSA Security Inc. (NASDAQ: RSAS), a leading provider of solutions that secure and manage online identities, today announced the launch of AOL PassCode, a new premium service that offers members a second level of AOL account protection through the use of a keychain-sized device that generates and displays a unique six-digit numeric code every 60 seconds.
AOL PassCode is a new premium service for AOL members.
"AOL PassCode is like adding a deadbolt to your AOL account by automatically creating a new secondary password every 60 seconds," said Ned Brody, AOL’s Senior Vice President for Premium Services. "Many of our members use their accounts for business purposes, financial transactions or other sensitive activities. AOL Passcode offers a higher standard of protection through the same state-of-the-art two-factor authentication system used by many financial institutions, technology companies, and other major businesses. We’re proud to be the first online service to offer this extraordinary supplementary level of security protection to our users."
