PokerStars look set to become the safest poker room on the internet following the announcement of a new inniative with security specialists RSA.  PokerStars players can now order a RSA Security Token which is a small deviced that can be attached to a keyring which randomly generates a six digit code that changes every minute.

The purpose of the new device is to ensure that only the person who possesses the security token can login.  To login players will need to enter the code on the keyword as well as their own login details which will greatly increase the security of accounts by preventing key loggering or phising attacks.

“Helping players protect their accounts is a top priority for PokerStars and we are always looking at ways to improve security." says a security spokesperson for PokerStars, "The RSA token provides a super-strong defense against unauthorized access by upgrading account security to a ‘two factor authentication’ process—the player’s unique password plus the unique number generated by the token. It’s a cutting-edge security solution that enables us to provide players with unrivalled security and peace of mind.”
